Reinvention, Risk, and Building Something New

from No Vacancy Live!

On this episode of #NoVacancyNews, I reconnected with longtime industry powerhouse Juan Corvinos Solans during NYU IHIF, who just made a major career pivot—leaving Hilton after 16 years to take on a bold new leadership role as President of #CALA for Hotel Equities. So, what drives someone to walk away from the familiar and embrace the unknown? We discuss: *Why Juan stepped away from a steady brand career to lead something new *How he's helping build a startup-style venture focused on all-inclusive and urban lifestyle hotels *What it's like to switch from brand-side to operations-side leadership *Why he's traveling more than ever—and how his wife found out about the move from a press release. Uh-oh *The vision for combining U.S.-based operational expertise with local talent across Latin America *Building a team of hospitality rock stars with a fresh perspective Juan's passion for shaking up the status quo is contagious—and you'll want to hear what's next.
