This year, we are celebrating 45 years in hospitality. All year long we are highlighting some key moments in our history, showcasing some of our incredible people, and putting the spotlight on some other leading names and businesses that make hospitality our home. Today, we are sharing the first in our Director Spotlight series.
Our project directors are vital to the success of our teams, and they are often managing several teams working on different projects. In our first feature, we are highlighting Brandi Biller. Brandi has been with Beyer Brown for almost 7 years, and in that time has grown to the role of a Project Director. Her extensive knowledge and experience stretches across many types of projects including boutique, luxury, independent, and major branded properties. Here is what Brandi had to say looking back at where she started, and her thoughts on working in hospitality.

Can you tell us a few details about the favorite part of your job?
I love the opportunity I have to build relationships with so many different people in the industry. Everything in our industry is always growing and changing with time, so I’m always learning new things and being challenged. One of the most rewarding parts of my job though is leading my team and watching them grow as project managers. I love working alongside good people, who are just as passionate and motivated as myself.
