To help further its sales strategy in the Americas, Wyndham Hotel Group has announced the addition of two hospitality sales leaders to its global sales organization: Carol Bullock, vice president, global sales, North America and Latin America, and Dawn Parisi, vice president, field sales.
Bullock (pictured right) will lead global sales for all of the company’s brands and all major market segments throughout North and Latin America while also overseeing diverse teams covering both regions. In this role, she will focus on developing and executing global sales strategies that emphasize enhanced property performance, meaningful and long-lasting client relationships and the identification of new revenue-generating opportunities.
Bullock joins the company from Dolce Hotels and Resorts, where she was responsible for developing and executing sales and marketing strategies for the brand in North America. Previously, she was global vice president of sales for Sonesta Hotels. She has also held leadership roles in sales and marketing for Starwood Hotels and Resorts and on-property sales roles at Carlton Hotel in New York, N.Y.; Club Quarters Boston in Boston, Mass.; and Omni Hotels & Resorts in New York, N.Y., Boston, Mass., and Chicago, Ill.
