Background

About Laini A. D.

Hi, I’m Laini (Lye-ee-knee) — a hospitality-focused strategist with 9+ years of experience across operations management, events, and team development within hospitality groups, nonprofits, and asset management firms. Over the years, I’ve been blessed to collaborate with phenomenal leaders and teams to manage $8M+ in operations across multiple markets, launch revenue-generating initiatives from the ground up, and deliver high-impact experiences for brands like Netflix, Nike, and Delta. My core strength lies in translating BIG visions into manageable action steps — building systems that support stakeholder value, client engagement, and operational excellence. Collaboration is at the center of my work — I enjoy partnership with visionaries, property teams, cross-functional leaders, team players, and stakeholders to ensure every experience is not just well-executed for clients, but also positioned to create fruitful partnerships while driving revenue and aligning with stakeholder goals. I take pride in my ability to lead with empathy, think with strategy, and act with precision even in the midst of change. If a challenge exists at the intersection of people, performance, and places? I’m all in! In my personal life, I'm a health-conscious foodie who loves to patronize local restauranteurs and a wellness lover who would never turn down the chance to try a new class or the latest wellness craze.
