MIAMI (March 1, 2018) – Following its re-imagination last year, The Ritz-Carlton Key Biscayne, Miami is expanding its sales team with the appointment of Martin Jakubczak as director of sales. With more than 16 years of experience in the hospitality industry, Jakubczak brings his expertise in group sales and building strong client relationships to lead the property’s sales team to success and exceed their revenue goals.
Jakubczak joins The Ritz-Carlton Key Biscayne, Miami from his most recent position as the associate director of sales at the Westin Fort Lauderdale Beach and previous to that served as a senior sales manager for The Ritz-Carlton, South Beach and The Ritz-Carlton Bal Harbour, Miami. Prior to his positions in South Florida, he returned to The Loews in Philadelphia as a group sales manager, where he began his hospitality career. Throughout his various positions, he has refined his skill set and developed the ability to work with groups of all sizes and successfully manage unexpected, challenging situations such as natural disasters.
“We’re thrilled to continue to grow our sales team and introduce a strong leader who aligns with our belief in the importance of guest relationships,” says General Manager Mark Ferland. “Martin’s natural ability to connect with guests paired with his tactical strategy make him the perfect asset to our already strong sales team.”
