Hello, I’m David Bateman! I am considered a seasoned hospitality professional having been in restaurant and hotel management my whole career. I have a diverse background from being a hands on cook to being a Vice President at a Fortune 500 company, recently I’ve been managing classic boutique hotels in New England and have had great success building revenue and closing occupancy gaps .
Prior to this role I was responsible for $217 million in Revenue Dining and Facilities for Southern New England. My history of success in business, operations and human resources stems from my unique ability to effectively establish and solidify strong working relationships with clients, employees, and key stakeholders within highly competitive regional markets. I believe communication and negotiation are vital components to building business relationships, and deliver record breaking revenue and profit gains.
I am an expert at recruiting, hiring, training, and placing management to achieve companywide best in sales and 100% client satisfaction. I take great pride in coaching my employees and turning them into a company’s most valuable asset. I enjoy facilitating “trainer meetings” and “open door meetings,” which proves to achieve increased staff morale and decrease turnover.
I thrive on going above and beyond company expectations, creating a win-win situation!
