Edgewood Tahoe Resort is the only luxury resort in South Lake Tahoe, with its closest comparable competition located in North Lake Tahoe. The hotel’s leadership team restructured its revenue and reservations leadership by splitting the current role into two separate positions, allowing each individual a singular focus on his/her respective areas - reservations and revenue management. In addition to needing a resource with revenue management experience, the resort needed expertise in the management of its revenue technology stack; a holistic understanding of their integration, optimal, and holistic evaluation of both transient and group segments; a keen focus on profitable decisions looking at all demand periods across the year; a collaborative approach with all team members; and experience in luxury product merchandising. One of the challenges the leadership team was presented with was identifying expert talent within the revenue management discipline from the local area.
