Erin Finnegan, Kensington Park Hotel
In five short years, Erin Finnegan has moved from a high school graduate intern, filing paper in the Marking Department to Personality Hotels’ Marketing and Social Media Manager and “Queen Diva,” a website character she created, who acts as a travel concierge. Never shying away from a project, seemingly just out of reach, Erin spearheaded the company’s loyalty program, called “Personality Perks” and worked to change the company’s branding, which, incidentally, won first place in How Magazine’s International Design Competition. Dispelling any doubts of attaining her goals, this young dynamo consistently manages to exceed expectations. Always a gracious ambassador for her property, Erin is front and center at in house events. She also organizes the hotel’s community outreach, such as participation in the San Francisco AIDSWalk. Most recently, Erin developed the companies all important social media presence on Twitter and Facebook.
With all of this under her belt, Erin still has a future goal that is industry-wide. Building on the company’s recent high standing as one of San Francisco’s Top Women Owned businesses, she wants to cultivate relationships with non-profit organizations focused on women. Her goal is to create more awareness in San Francisco’s hospitality industry and to showcase women industry leaders as role models for empowering young women to strive for success. Erin’s talents, passion and dedication have already taken her far, and it’s only the start of the journey for this young rising star.
