Senih Geray liked thisSenih Geray liked thisLast week, I had the honor of celebrating the grand reopening of Waldorf Astoria New York – a true icon reborn. Conrad Hilton once said, “To accomplish big things, I am convinced you must first dream big dreams.” Walking through the hotel’s legendary halls, his words felt alive in every detail of how this hotel has been meticulously reimagined – from Peacock Alley to the Grand Ballroom to the incredible guest rooms and all the spaces in between. This hotel has long been a cultural epicenter – it’s where glamour found a home, it’s where so many innovations were born, and it’s been the host to presidents, peace talks, and premieres. And we are now ready to mark its next era with a nod to what’s been and a celebration of what’s still to come. Thank you to the thousands of people who have made this big dream possible, including our owners and Managing Director, Luigi Romaniello. We can’t wait for you to once again experience the greatest of them all!

Senih Geray liked thisSenih Geray liked thisThe most important career move I’ve ever made was pressing pause. This past January, I made the decision to leave Marriott International after 21 years, a company I still deeply love, and to step away from mentors, and colleagues who profoundly shaped my career. For someone who has worked since the age of 12, walking away was a risk. But I chose instead to see it as a mid-career power move. An intentional reset to separate who I am from what I do, and to discover where I naturally invest my energy, attention, and time. With no roadmap, I started with things I could never find enough time to do before. Over seven months, I cooked 82 NYT Cooking recipes, walked nearly 700 miles, read 65 books, and spent countless hours with my 15-year-old daughter. Perhaps I redirected my professional intensity into personal life, but it felt transformative. I proved to myself that I could excel at entirely new challenges, connect with friends and family on topics beyond my most recent trip, and discover fulfillment beyond work milestones. (And according to my daughter’s friends, I’m now officially the “nicest mom” ❤️) This time was invaluable. It helped me reset, reflect, and decide how I want to show up in my next chapter, with renewed energy, a growth mindset, and confidence in my ability to master new skills. And so, in the spirit of all the back-to-school posts, here’s my own “back-to-work” moment: Today marks my first day at Hilton as part of the Luxury Brand Team, looking after Waldorf Astoria Hotels & Resorts and Conrad Hotels & Resorts. Two extraordinary brands with iconic legacies and exciting futures. I am deeply grateful to my friends, colleagues, and especially James Nichols for encouraging me to take this time and for cheering me on as I chose when and how to step back into the spotlight. As I step into this new chapter with Hilton, I carry forward the lessons of the past seven months: that growth comes from courage, and that energy expands when you direct it with purpose. I am excited to channel that energy into shaping the future of Waldorf Astoria and Conrad Hotels, and nurturing my personal life with the same care and intention as I give my career.

Is Baku ready for the "New Era" of Global Hospitality? After 3 years at the helm of Holiday Inn Baku, I’ve realized that our mission goes far beyond filling rooms. We are in the business of building the international reputation of Azerbaijan. Leading a major 1.5-year transformation of a key city asset has taught me that "international standards" are just the baseline. To truly lead in this market, you must blend global efficiency with our local soul. What I’ve learned as a GM during this transition: -Resilience over Comfort: Managing a full-scale renovation without stopping operations is the ultimate stress test for any leadership team. -The "Procurement" Edge: Understanding the lifecycle of an asset from the ground up allows for smarter, faster decision-making. -Vision: We didn't just rebuild a pool and meeting spaces; we rebuilt the expectation of what a Baku-based team can deliver. The future of hospitality in Azerbaijan isn't just about bigger buildings—it's about the depth of the leaders who run them. #Hospitality #Azerbaijan #Baku #Leadership #GeneralManager #StrategicGrowth #IHG #MarketVision #FutureOfWork
