With a 25-year career in hospitality, Georgeta Grecu joins the winsedswiss Romania team

For a decade, she ran the Hotel Cișmigiu, a heritage building in the centre of the capital, built in 1912 under the name Palace Hotel and reopened in 2012, when Georgeta took over as general manager. 

Georgeta was actively involved in the opening of three major hotels, including the first Sofitel hotel in Romania. In London and Paris she held various positions in the Accor group structure, and in Bucharest she also worked as events manager at the World Trade Center. In 2009, he came to meet the economic crisis with a new concept on the market, launching as Resident Manager the first apart-hotel in Bucharest - Starlight Suiten Hotel. Today, she is an active participant in hospitality institutions such as the International Councillor for Europe within Skål International, member of the Skål Training and Education Committee, F.I.H.R., as well as mentor in the Professional Women Network. 

"I thank Georgeta for having taken up the double challenge of being Senior Consultant of the group's hotel management and consulting division, hmc by winsedswiss, and also trainer of the hospitality academy, ohma.

Our mission is a beautiful one and it looks to the future of the industry. On the one hand, through hmc (hospitality management & consulting), we contribute to the success of our partners' businesses, assisting them throughout all stages of their hotel projects. On the other hand, through our licensed vocational programmes Hotel School of Lausanne, provided at our three ohma campuses in Oradea, Brasov and Bucharest, we are training a new generation of hospitality professionals, who are taught the essential ingredients for a brilliant career in this field by ohma instructors, experienced and renowned professionals in the industry, EHL certified. So, Georgeta's arrival in our team is a very good omen and we all wish her a lot of success", says Christine Schillings, Chief Executive Officer winsedswiss România.

"I have been a promoter of quality education and professional consulting in the industry since 2014, which drives me to leverage my experience gained within the dynamic winsedswiss team. The position of trainer at the ohma academy, which operates under the auspices of the prestigious École hôtelière de Lausanne university, gives me the satisfaction of sharing the know-how I have acquired during my career in this field, which I hope will soon once again become attractive to young people as it can bring them untold rewards. 

The position of Senior Consultant in Hospitality Strategy and Management gives me the opportunity to offer my experience to another segment at the beginning of the project, namely the investor, the entrepreneur, to whom we support with assistance and solutions from the beginning of the project development process. We are with the entrepreneur from the pre-opening phase, to the preparation of the opening of the hotel and further on to the evaluation of the hotel operations, in order to create and integrate the "hospitude" approach that will be the starting point of an excellent guest experience in the hotel", says Georgeta Grecu, the new Senior Consultant of winsedswiss Romania and trainer in the ohma by winsedswiss academy.
