While developing their professional skills in a variety of roles at Johnson Development Associates, Inc., OTO Development, and American Credit Acceptance, our summer interns are 𝘢𝘭𝘴𝘰 building a genuine appreciation for community service. They spent a few shifts volunteering on the job site at Habitat for Humanity of Spartanburg's 157th house, and y'all, they nailed it.

We count ourselves lucky that 𝐒𝐮𝐳𝐚𝐧𝐧𝐞 𝐂𝐮𝐩𝐥𝐢𝐧 chose to spend the last eight years of her career with us. This savvy assistant controller is a 𝘵-𝘤𝘳𝘰𝘴𝘴𝘦𝘳 / 𝘪-𝘥𝘰𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘦𝘹𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘰𝘳𝘥𝘪𝘯𝘢𝘪𝘳𝘦 who added so much talent to OTO's Accounting & Finance team. Today she takes on a new job title – 𝘳𝘦𝘵𝘪𝘳𝘦𝘦 – and looks forward to spending more time with her husband, their adult children and, especially, her favorite 10-year-old 😊 Thanks so much Suzanne for your total dedication to OTO’s excellent hotels and exceptional people.  You’ve always got our number. #ExcellentHotelsExceptionalPeople #OTODevelopment #TheJohnsonGroup #HappyRetirement #CareersAtOTO #HospitalityWorks

Going above and beyond is all in a day’s work for Stephanie Edra at Hyatt Centric Mountain View.

In short, Stephanie’s kicking it, and for that she has received Hyatt’s 2024 Q1 Kick Butt Award. Presented along with a pair of Hyatt-branded boxing gloves, the #KickButtAward recognizes her exceptional contributions to property performance as well as company culture.

Powerfully pleased to see Eric Monteiro, OTO's Corporate Director of Marketing & Digital Strategy, on SC Biz News' New Executives Power List.
