Maria Elena Kaldani comes to Unique Hotel Solutions as a 20-year veteran of the hospitality industry. She has a proven track record of strategically targeting international clients and markets to add incremental revenue to appropriate hotels, allowing for increased market share. Her hospitality experience began in the mid-1980s with Sheraton Bal Harbour, followed by The Biltmore Hotel. From there, Kaldani quickly became one of the most desired international salespersons in the industry. She was also part of Delano’s opening team with Ian Schrager Hotels in Miami Beach, and was a frontrunner in introducing South Beach to the international market. At ISH, Kaldani was promoted to Global Director of International Sales and successfully drove new business to all eight of their locations (in London, New York, Miami, Los Angeles and San Francisco). In her most recent position as Director of Sales at Sagamore on South Beach, Kaldani enhanced her leadership skills and exposure to other market segments. The resort was being repositioned and required recruiting a new sales team, executing a new sales strategy and soliciting new market segments in all regions to accomplish the revenue goals. Kaldani’s solid reputation with clients, built on years of trust and credibility, gives her a strong advantage in the international market. Her passion, commitment, interpersonal charisma and flexibility drive results. She is Ecuadorian by birth and holds a degree in International Business from Stanford University.
