The Value of a Swiss Army Knife Manager

Erin Marrero-Savoie is a New Orleans native who studied Economics at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette. After graduation, Erin returned back to the area and joined the Holiday Inn New Orleans Westbank team as a Sales Coordinator in December of 2013.

She quickly made her presence felt by aiding in the development and maintenance of the hotel’s social media strategy. Always quick to volunteer for special projects and new initiatives, Erin was identified as a key employee and began training for future growth opportunities. She currently oversees the F&B operation as well as the Front Office in her role as Hotel Operations Manager. Hotel General Manager, Dustin Floyd, describes Erin as a “swiss army knife manager – lots of tools at her disposal and can aid in most any department”.

Erin’s greatest strengths are her work ethic and persistence. Although she puts in many hours at the hotel, she still finds time to mentor area youth, volunteer for multiple organizations, and serve as a board member for her Alumni Association. The old quote goes “Patience, persistence and perspiration make an unbeatable combination for success” and Erin is certainly the posterchild for this mindset.
