Prism Hotels and Resorts Promotes Ghee Alexander as Senior Vice President of Operations
Dallas-based Prism Hotels and Resorts announced it has created two new positions to serve their growing portfolio. Ghee Alexander has been promoted from general manager of El Conquistador Tucson, a Hilton Resort, to fill the role of senior vice president of operations. Jeff Miller has been hired as corporate regional director of sales. Prism Hotels and Resorts' President and CEO Steve Van made the announcement.
Alexander is a hospitality industry veteran with 25 years of experience in a variety of roles. His first general manger position came at age 26 when he spent six years at Lodgian, Inc. Alexander joined Prism 7 years ago as general manager of Doubletree by Hilton Memphis Downtown before serving as general manager of El Conquistador Tucson, a Hilton Resort, leading the property through a lengthy and extensive renovation and repositioning.
A 13-year hospitality professional, Miller will serve as corporate regional director of sales and work closely with the property-based director of sales to grow revenues and improve market share. He will act as a liaison between the Prism corporate office and his assigned hotel properties and will be responsible for planning direct sales strategies for new and existing properties. Previously, Miller has held multiple sales positions for HEI Hotels & Resorts, TPG Hotels & Resorts and most recently with Interstate Hotels & Resorts in Dallas.
“As we continue to chart new territories with amazing hotels across the country, it is imperative that we attract the best people in the business to advance our mission and solidify our reputation as one of the top hotel management companies in the country,” Van said. “To that end, growing so rapidly, we saw an opportunity to make additions to our leadership team through these newly created positions. Jeff's extensive sales and management experience will be instrumental as he guides our sales teams and ensures they are on track to deliver outstanding top and bottom-line results, and Ghee's industry expertise and insight into hotel operations will provide us with the strong and stable foundation that will allow us to capitalize on new opportunities and find new ways to add meaningful value. We're confident that they will both continue to drive the measurable results that Prism Hotels & Resorts is known for delivering to our owners”
