With extensive hotel industry experience, Kristy comes from Darwin’s H on Smith Hotel where she was General Manager for over one year.
Previous to H on Smith Hotel, Ryan was Executive Manager at AccorHotels Group for two years, where she headed up numerous capital investment projects and managed relationships with key stakeholders for Novotel Canberra. In fact, Kristy worked at the property when it was ‘Hotel Hotel’ and witnessed the start of the Ovolo Nishi take over – so she’ll now be coming home to take on this leading role within the hotel as part of Ovolo.
Kristy says, “I’m so excited to join the team at Ovolo and assist driving Ovolo Nishi to the top of its game. As the Ovolo brand builds momentum and buzz across Australia and internationally, it is with great pleasure that I exert my passion and experience into setting the benchmark for experience-based hospitality here in Canberra”.
“I am thrilled to have appointed Kristy to the Ovolo Hotels team. I believe she will prove to be a great asset to the core and wider Ovolo team, as we continue to grow in Australia and beyond. Kristy has exceptional track records in the hospitality industry and I have every faith that her knowledge and expertise across her vast preceding roles within hotels will be of great use in her role to excel Ovolo Hotels to the next level”, said Dave Baswal, Ovolo Hotels COO AU.
