Sage showed up strong at The Hospitality Show, hosted earlier this week by the American Hotel & Lodging Association and Hotel Management Magazine in Denver.
One of the standout moments?
Erik Kreft, General Manager of One Ocean Resort & Spa, was named GM of the Year, Independent Property by Hotel Management Magazine.
Chosen from a nationwide pool of nominees, Erik was honored for leading with compassion, integrity, and a deep commitment to creating a sense of belonging. His recognition reflects what we strive for across Sage: leadership rooted in heart, belonging, and enriching lives.
We’re also proud of the Sage voices who contributed to conversations on innovation, sustainability, and workforce development:
• Walter Isenberg, Co-Founder and CEO
• Matt Schwartz, Chief Technology & Marketing Officer
• Marie DeLibero, GM of The Rally Hotel
• Lizzie Raudenbush, GM of The Curtis
Each speaker brought insight, passion, and purpose to the stage.
Thank you to AHLA for creating space for these important conversations, and for including Sage in the dialogue.
