In October of this year, the Trump International Beach Resort, a contemporary Mobil 4-star oceanfront resort located in the exclusive enclave of Sunny Isles Beach, added two new members to their staff, GAY HOLDEN as National Sales Manager and Brian McLelland as Director of Sales.

“We were thrilled to welcome these two highly-qualified and dynamic additions to the resort’s Sales team,” says Jens Grafe, General Manager of the Trump International Beach Resort. “Both candidates hold a strong sales background in diverse markets and promote an extensive knowledge of the hospitality industry.”  
As National Sales Manager of the Trump International Beach Resort, Gay Holden is responsible for developing all meeting and incentive client accounts in the U.S. MidAtlantic markets; including corporate, union, association and travel agency group business.

As Director of Sales, Brian McLelland will be responsible for managing all aspects of the Trump International Beach Resort’s sales operations to drive increased revenues and profitability for the resort, as well as increase customer satisfaction and loyalty in the resort’s target markets.
