Leo Spriggs, President and CEO of Hospitality Management Corporation (HMC), announces the elevation of both Erin Mankowski and Chris Cardinal to Directors within the company. Both are long term employees of HMC and have extensive experience within the industry.
Mankowski has 15+ years and Cardinal was one of the original founding members of HMC with over 25 years working in hotel and hospitality environments. Their oversight will include day-to-day operational finance activities of the assigned hotels and management of field personnel, due to the company’s continued ongoing business expansion which is made up of full service, conference center, select service and limited service hotels. HMC is one of the country’s largest third-party privately held hotel management companies, ranked in the top 40 of all third party and owner operated hotel management corporations.
Mankowski will work directly with the Executive VP of Accounting preparing and analyzing various monthly financial reports and transitional accounting efforts. She also directly oversees area controllers’, as well as several property based accounting managers and coordinates the fixed asset accounting for new hotel development. Prior to joining HMC, Mankowski worked with InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG) as a front office and credit manager, as well as other positions within the industry.
Cardinal has served in a diverse range of positions from service to top management level responsibilities. Previously, he worked with Metro Hotels as an accountant for centralized operations over multiple hotels within their portfolio. His new role as Director will require not only financial responsibility over numerous properties and accounting personnel throughout the U.S., but he will also oversee payroll and tax documentation for the company.
“I am extremely excited to have individuals of this quality leading HMC into the future. Both are exceptionally talented and skilled in the field of accounting within the hospitality industry. It is also particularly satisfying and evidence of their commitment to HMC’s culture that they are long term staff members developed within the company,” shared Daniel Killian, Executive Vice President Accounting, Hospitality Management Corporation.
