Our Team

Our team is a passionate group of individuals who love sharing our Blue Sky City with the world. Hospitality isn’t just something we talk about - it’s a way of life that we embody every day. We’re committed to the visitor economy and take great pride in working alongside our frontline and industry partners, who've earned us the reputation as the ultimate hosts.

Our leadership team is comprised of seasoned leaders with a wide range of knowledge and experience. Through our collective expertise, they are charting the pathway to our ambitious growth plans of doubling visitor spend from $3B to $6B by 2035.
