As the leader driving global growth for the world’s largest hospitality management company, Eric shares how Aimbridge is intentionally moving beyond scale—prioritizing excellence and long-term value for owners, operators, and brands. In Eric’s words, the goal isn’t just to be the biggest third-party manager, but the best partner. Teague digs into what that commitment looks like in practice—from operational discipline and accountability to leadership decisions that cascade all the way down to the guest experience. Together, they also explore where AI is headed in revenue management and forecasting, how Aimbridge is balancing growth with uncompromising standards, and Eric’s predications on hospitality both domestically and abroad.
