Proactive Asset Management

As former owners and managers ourselves, we understand the objectives, concerns, and needs of the individuals and companies we work with. Our team takes a dynamic approach to challenges and seeks out new opportunities to enhance value across the enterprise of each asset. At hotelAVE we see ourselves as our client’s partners, their success is our success and we work together to achieve their most ambitious goals.

Note from Founder and CEO, Michelle Russo

Nothing great comes from thinking and doing the same as everyone else. That’s why I started hotelAVE in 2003. I believed that we could succeed by bringing together a very talented, diverse group of individuals who thought, acted, and cared like owners. Today, this desire to walk in the shoes of our clients, anticipate the future, and surpass expectations is core to our philosophy. We are passionate about always driving results and whenever possible taking new and innovative approaches.

As we prepare for our future in hospitality, we expect more to change than stay the same. It is hard to deny that new technology, brands, and ways to connect with customers are profoundly impacting our industry. I am so proud of our people who have a passion to excel and are better equipped to positively impact the future for our clients, owners, and investors.

As we continue to evolve and grow as a company, we remain true to our founding principle, which is creating value for you: our clients, owners, and investors. For this opportunity, we thank you.

-Michelle Russo, Founder & CEO
