In their respective new roles, Chambers will work with the team to build and drive cross-functional strategies to better serve hotel general managers, their teams and hotel owners, and Rosa will spearhead the operational performance of a portfolio of full-service and select-brand hotels while fostering relationships with owners. Chambers will also continue to lead the HVMG Revenue Excellence team in maximizing market share growth and leading the team to deliver revenue strategies, systems, and processes to above-property operations team members, hotel teams, and hotel owners.
“Cory’s promotion is not only recognition for his achievements in designing and delivering a best-in-class revenue organization but also his direct contributions over the years with HVMG strategic initiatives,” said Robert Cole, president/CEO, HVMG. “Having joined HVMG more than a decade ago, Cory has proven his ability to develop and deploy tools, processes and strategies that drive excellent revenue results. Under Cory’s leadership, HVMG has experienced five consecutive years and nine of the past 10 years of same-store, portfolio-wide, year-over-year market share growth. Cory has attracted and developed some of the best revenue talent in our industry and has earned the trust and respect of our owners and brand partners. He has been a contributor, mentor and leader throughout our organization. I am incredibly appreciative of his can-do attitude, his tenacity and how he has made us a better company.”
A 25-plus year hospitality veteran, Chambers previously worked with White Lodging, culminating in a VP, revenue generation role, where he oversaw sales, revenue management, e-commerce and communications for the company’s full-service portfolio. His previous roles with White Lodging include corporate director of sales and marketing and pre-opening director of sales and marketing at the JW Marriott Indianapolis.

On Rosa, Cole said, “Maggie has been an integral part of the success of numerous HVMG hotels, successfully leading the Hilton Houston Galleria, Hyatt Regency Houston North and Atlanta Marriott Perimeter Center to some of their highest performing years. In her myriad of roles, Maggie wore many hats, doing everything from overseeing multimillion-dollar renovations to delivering major increases to guest satisfaction scores, RevPAR and GDP results. We look forward to Maggie’s continued leadership overseeing our portfolio of hotels as she continues to excel in optimizing performance, fostering strong relationships and improving guest and associate satisfaction.”
