Samara Johns – Area Director of Human Resources, The Estate Yountville

I had the pleasure of working with Elizabeth at The Estate Yountville where she led the sales and marketing efforts for the rebranding of the entire location. Elizabeth was responsible for all sales efforts as we worked together to re-open Hotel Villagio, launch The Villa at The Estate (the luxurious five-bedroom private residence) as well as The Social (the newest banquet and catering venue). Elizabeth worked tirelessly on revenue generation, strategic rate restructuring, social media marketing campaigns, while leading our 13 person sales and catering team. Her dedication to her team was admirable; as she mentored with fairness, compassion, and accountability. Elizabeth has exceptional networking abilities and was vital in re-introducing The Estate Yountville as a premier luxury destination within the heart of Napa Valley. She was highly active and well respected within the local community and extended our exposure nationally and internationally. Elizabeth worked through an extremely busy and demanding time at The Estate juggling her multitude of responsibilities with a high level of energy, grace, humor and integrity.

Suzie Chikeles - Sales Executive, Emirates Airlines

Elizabeth was hired to fill in during our Director of Sales maternity leave. It was really a pleasure working with her. She was able to jump right in with little to no training and keep the sales department on track. I appreciated her work ethic and style. Myself and the team learned a lot from Elizabeth during her assignment with us. I look forward to working with her again!
