Davidson Hospitality Group has reorganized its commercial services function with the promotions of Patrick Broderick and Harry Carr to the newly created roles of SVP, commercial optimization and the appointment of Kathryn Collins to VP, marketing.
Under this strategic deployment, Broderick and Carr oversee all aspects of commercial disciplines, including sales, revenue management and marketing, with Broderick responsible for Davidson Hotels and Davidson Resorts, while Carr leads Pivot and additional high-profile properties within the Davidson portfolio. In her domain, Collins drives tactical marketing execution for the company.
“We are proud to announce the promotion of two key leaders in our organization as part of our commitment to promote talent internally,” said Jason Reader, COO, Davidson Hospitality Group. “We are excited to empower Pat and Harry to continue creating exceptional value in all that they do. While our specialized operating verticals at Davidson remain strong, we are further enhancing our infrastructure to develop even more alignment and cohesion in the way we do business.”
Broderick joined the company in 2021 as VP, sales and revenue management for Davidson Resorts and has a 37-year track record as a hospitality executive. Previously, he was with Marriott International, where he ascended from property-level management positions at hotels throughout New England before transitioning into sales leadership roles. He served as VP, sales for the region, overseeing topline sales for 60-plus Marriott hotels across 12 brands, including 18 resorts and luxury hotels, representing more than $2 billion in revenues.
Carr’s tenure with Davidson began just prior to the launch of Pivot in 2016 with the repositioning of Hotel Zephyr San Francisco, the first hotel in Pivot. Serving first as corporate director, revenue management, and following a series of promotions to VP and then SVP, his contributions helped to grow the lifestyle portfolio from one hotel to reach critical mass, according to the company. With more than 30 years of hospitality experience in both independent and branded environments, he has been instrumental in driving total revenue and gaining market share for diverse properties. Prior to Pivot, he worked with SBE and Viceroy Hotel Group as well as Interstate Hotels & Resorts, Starwood and Hilton Hotels & Resorts.
Joining most recently from Remington Hospitality where she served as senior director, marketing and digital strategy, Collins has experience driving strategy and execution across paid media, website development, analytics, creative and market research to drive measurable results. Previously, she was director, brand marketing at Bryte, where she led brand and marketing strategy for the luxury technology startup, launching integrated direct-to-consumer and business-to-business programs across e-commerce, hospitality and retail channels. She also spent more than 12 years at Marriott International advancing through multiple promotions.
