W Fort Lauderdale Hotel is pleased to announce the recent appointment of Kristiann Galati as its new Director of Sales & Marketing.
With more than 18 years of sales & hospitality experience and a long-standing history working with the Starwood brand, Galati specializes in the marketing and positioning of luxury hotels and is excited to bring her expertise to this new role.
Most recently, Galati was the Director of Sales & Marketing at W Hollywood Hotel & Residences in Los Angeles.
