Joanne Tan, Hotel Whitcomb
Joanne Tan was hired as an Executive Assistant in the summer of 2007, just a few short months after arriving from the Philippines. In a remarkably short time, she took on additional responsibilities as the Project Manager for the renovation of the Associate’s Café, the Breakfast Room, Lobby, Ballroom and guestrooms and suites. She also created a “Hall of History” as part of the hotel’s historic preservation…all while still managing her duties as Executive Assistant. She was recently named the Marketing Director and has produced the hotel’s collateral, advertising, and social media sites. She has represented the Hotel Whitcomb on KRON4’s Best of the Bay, and appeared in a short film, “Making a Better Market Street in San Francisco.” While these accomplishments were achieved with motivation, energy, hard work, and dedication, it is Joanne’s enthusiasm and selflessness to be of service to others that is a testament to her loyalty to her property and passion for excellence. Her vision and strong commitment to San Francisco has achieved a close partnership with the City and County and community agencies in beautification and improvement of Market Street.
Hotel Whitcomb’s General Manager, Ralph Lee, sums up Joanne’s positive impact: “Joanne is not only totally committed and dedicated to her hotel, the staff, the guests, but to the community of this grand City of San Francisco.” Through her hospitality and community work, Joanne is a great example of a young professional making an impact on the industry and our City.
