The hospitality industry encompasses various sectors including hotels, restaurants, entertainment, and tourism. Our guest this week is Neil Jacobs- a seasoned entrepreneur with a journey through hospitality including running hotels and building them from the ground up, financing venture deals and closing successful sales. He has been CEO of Six Senses since 2012 and oversaw its sales to InterContinental Hotels Group, a multinational hospitality company headquartered in England and listed on both the London and New York Stock Exchanges.
In this transitional moment in Neil’s career, he joins us to reflect on the hospitality industry he’s helped to shape and the future of an idea he still wants to build. “People want to come together and share and learn and have a personal experience with a takeaway that is different to other hotels and also what has been done in the past.” Tune in for this fantastic conversation with a trailblazer in eco-luxury, destination travel, wellness, design, and more. | S7 E13
