“It’s been a pleasure discovering the great things about my new hometown and I’m excited to hit the ground running to recommit W Nashville as a dynamic partner in this community,” said Deisen. “My team and I are eager to continue to strengthen W Nashville’s reputation as a leading hotel for visitors and a resource for the city’s residents and local businesses.”
Deisen began his Marriott journey as an Executive Steward at The Ritz-Carlton, Cleveland.
