Testimonials

“I’ve had the pleasure of working closely with Howard Tanenbaum on a large initiative aimed at merging the sales and commercial teams of two global hospitality organizations in a strategic alliance. Throughout the project, Howard demonstrated exceptional professionalism, a deep understanding of the hospitality industry, and a remarkable ability to collaborate effectively across diverse teams. Howard provided invaluable insights and guidance, significantly elevating the team’s capabilities, and contributing to our mutual success. He was a key driver in creating Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) and marketing materials that have become foundational to our operations. His engagement and attention to detail ensured that these resources were effective and aligned with our overarching business goals. His contribution has had a lasting positive impact on our organization and the strategic alliance. I would recommend Howard for any consulting role he may seek in the future. His dedication, expertise, and collaborative approach make him an asset to any team or project.

“To whom it may concern:  I am writing this recommendation of Howard Tanenbaum based on my interactions with him while integrating Iberostar Breachfront resorts into IHG as a Strategic Alliance Partner.  During that project it was clear that Howard was a true subject matter expert in the Caribbean hotel market.  His efforts to work alongside our sales leadership to help train our teams to sell a brand with different attributes than any of our other 18 brands, were impressive to say the least.  He was able to provide deep insights into the all-inclusive markets and compset dynamics while consulting our teams to understand how to position the various property types within the IBR umbrella.  He was also a genuine great guy to work with, showing great EQ, in the face of some challenging situations to help us deliver the outcome we anticipated.”
