Hotel operating, management and development company First Hospitality has promoted Nadia Panasyuk to senior vice president of revenue management. In her new role, Panasyuk will leverage commercial analytics to inform strategic decisions, driving AI automation initiatives and expanding the revenue-management team’s focus beyond revenue per available room to overall profitability.
"Since joining First Hospitality two years ago, Nadia has enhanced our budgeting and forecasting processes, implemented strategies to grow our RevPAR index, and prioritized our ownership relationships," Jenna Fishel, chief commercial officer of First Hospitality, said in a statement. "Her ability to drive measurable results while nurturing strong relationships with owners is a true testament to her leadership.
“Nadia also brings a high level of dedication and commitment to her team," Fishel continued. "Her thoughtful and intentional approach to developing each team member is a clear example of the people-first leadership that strengthens our company for the long term.”
Before First Hospitality, Panasyuk was a regional director of revenue management, overseeing a portfolio of 25 hotels and resorts. In this role, she leveraged her experience in Marriott systems and strategies to facilitate market share growth and drive revenue performance across the portfolio. She has also held leadership positions at Westin Chicago River North, The Gwen (Chicago), W Atlanta-Buckhead and the Westin Galleria and Westin Oaks (Houston).
“Nadia represents the kind of forward-thinking leadership that is critical to how we continue evolving our business,” said David Duncan, president and CEO of First Hospitality. “She understands that revenue management today is about more than driving topline performance, it’s about using data, technology and strong commercial discipline to create greater profitability and long-term value for our owners. We’re excited to see Nadia continue to expand her impact in this new role.”
