  6 City hotels and 3 Spa hotels, incl. brands:Cumulus, Holiday Inn & RantasipiRegional Head of Revenue Management operations in Tampere, Nokia, Ikaalinen, Vaasa and Hämeenlinna. The lively market of the city center of Tampere and the more seasonal operations at the Rantasipi Spa & Congress Hotels combined perfectly. Altogether a very inspiring period of my career. I reported to the VP Commercial Being one of the most popular hotels in Tampere, the Cumulus Koskikatu (230 rooms) was a great place to work and learn. During that period we renovated the hotel and also converted the night club into a congress centre after very specific calculations. Better guest satisfaction, better profits.I reported to the Regional GM. A development project at Spa Hotel Rantasipi Tropiclandia, Vaasa. Six months of continuous work in order to trim the restaurant operations into a more effective and profitable form. The team succeeded and the results got better, both financially and qualitywise.I reported to the Regional GM. Hotel Cumulus Pinja was an Art Nouveau style city hotel right in the heart of Tampere.Restaurant Olympia for private events can accommodate festivities from birthday parties to large functions for as many as 250 people.I reported to the Regional GM.
