Nashvillle's Soon to Open Bobby Hotel Names New Directors
Bobby Hotel, opening in Nashville's Printer's Alley this May, announces the appointments of hospitality veteran Jeff Gillick as Director of Sales and Marketing and restaurant expert Steven Weaver as Director of Food & Beverage.
Gillick will orchestrate strategic marketing of the hotel and its unique attributes like the rooftop lounge, while driving strong sales with the focus on leisure and small group. With two decades of hospitality experience, Gillick most recently honed this role at The Langham Huntington in Pasadena, an iconic California landmark hotel and social centerpiece. His CV is star- studded with Santa Barbara's Bacara Resort and Spa and San Diego's rebranded Kona Kai Resort & Marina.
Equally established, Weaver has deep roots in the culinary industry, having worked in management and operations for over twenty years in restaurants outside the hotel realm. He earned his GM chops at Sullivan's Steakhouse in Houston, the same city where he debuted Velvet Taco, the rule-breaking urban taco concept. An asset to the Bobby team, Weaver will oversee culinary operations and programming, financial management, human resources, operations initiatives, marketing, quality, service and control.
Gillick earned a BA in Hotel Administration at University of Nevada Las Vegas. Weaver graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Madison with a BA in International Relations.
