Senior Vice President of People and Culture

ALIE GAFFAN

Across more than 30 years in hospitality, Alie Gaffan has built a career defined by service, growth, and trust. She began in operations, learning the business from the ground up, and advanced through General Manager and enterprise leadership roles that shaped her understanding of how people strategy and performance are inseparable.

Over time, her work expanded from individual teams to entire organizations — guiding leadership development, reinforcing values, and shaping cultures that scale without losing integrity.

Alie brings institutional wisdom and operational empathy to everything she leads. She believes culture is not a program, but a daily practice — strengthened through accountability, opportunity, and care.

Her work reflects a lasting truth: when people are seen, supported, and challenged, organizations grow with purpose.
