Background

About Sara Popp

I am a dynamic, results-driven hospitality sales executive with extensive experience driving revenue growth and building brand loyalty through excellent customer experiences. I thrive on working in a fast-paced environment that allows me to use my creative negotiating and selling skills to bring my customers’ events to life, all while ensuring profitability for the host property. As a regional Group Sales Manager for Marriott International, I’m proud to represent 13 downtown Chicago hotels that include over 8,100 rooms and square feet of premier indoor meeting and event space. Since joining Marriott’s Northern Mid America Regional Sales Office in 2013, I have booked over $17M in revenue by cultivating strong relationships with both internal stakeholders and meeting planners, particularly in the group corporate and convention markets. Born and raised in the suburbs of Chicago, I am a die-hard Chicago Blackhawks fan. In the off-season, you’ll find me binging the latest Netflix series or raiding the aisles of Home Depot for my latest creative decorating project. Most important, in my most favorite role of all, I enjoy living life through the eyes of my two young daughters. They are my heart & soul.
