“Had the true pleasure of working with Mohan on both brand projects with Loews Hotels as well as directly at the property level at Loews Atlanta Hotel. Mohan is an amazing leader, mentor and friend who has helped shape whom I have become. Mohan is one of the more intelligent individuals I have had the pleasure of working with and always made you think outside the box to improve both service performance and Team Member satisfaction. We accomplished many great things during our time together, and much of this is credited to Mohan's passion and leadership. I would be honored to work with Mohan again and truly hope to have that opportunity. Any company would be very fortunate to have him leading their Team.”
