14. INDUSTRY TESTIMONIALS I had the opportunity to work with Dennis Centorbi on the property side during my 10 years with the Crowne Plaza Hilton Head Island as Director of Group Sales, and I can say without question, he is the most professional and knowledgeable of all the third party planners we worked with during my tenure. The attention to detail, knowledge of client needs and complete understanding of the planning process from the hotel prospective was unsurpassed in every aspect. Since moving to my current role with IHG Americas Sales in 2012, I've had the pleasure of working with Dennis Centorbi on Walmart group inquiries, and I can honestly say the success of Walmart groups at IHG properties, from inquiry to planning, is directly attributed to Dennis' client knowledge and his unique and intimate skill in communicating the detailed group needs to the properties. Dennis is a dedicated and invaluable resource who can completely disseminate the performance metrics needed to execute the perfect group function in a professional, personable and courteous manner, which is unique in the industry and in my opinion, can not be matched by any other third party associate” ~ Chris O’Donnell, Key Account Director, IHG Americas Sales “Dennis Centorbi is an associate that I have had the sincere pleasure with whom to work. Denny and I have partnered on a number of programs and I find him to be responsive, unfailingly polite and a consummate professional. I truly value his understanding of the industry and his approach - he looks for win/win solutions for clients and hotels. I always look forward to working with Dennis. He makes everything easier!” ~ Gina Shanfield - Group Sales Manager, Four Seasons Hotel “It is a pleasure to write this recommendation for Mr. Dennis Centorbi. I have had the privilege of working with Dennis for almost two years and have found his dedication, responsiveness and professionalism truly top notch. Sometimes it’s not all about rates and concessions, but the industry knowledge and relationships with our hotels that Dennis can bring to the table. One of the best benefits HB can immediately deliver to you is the precious resource of time. Their expertise and systems allow the potential stress of sourcing and site selection to be greatly diminished, if it exists at all.” ~ Kim Napolitano - Senior Director of Sales , Hilton Worldwide • Dennis is one of those rare "true" partners. He approaches every interaction as an opportunity to not only share insight on the needs of those he represents, but also to gain insight in return from you.
