“When the whole world was saying no, you can't, I had one person that said yes, you can.”
In this episode of the XpertHost Hospitality Leadership Series, Bertran sits down with Simon Casson, Chief Executive Officer at Corinthia Hotels — one of the most respected figures in global hospitality and former President of Hotel Operations for Four Seasons EMEA.
