Interstate Hotels & Resorts, the United States’ largest independent hotel management company, today announced the appointment of Emily Boling Lynn to the position of vice president, global sales and strategic accounts. In her new role, Lynn is responsible for reinforcing relationships with major corporate accounts and supporting IHR-managed hotels’ corporate account sales efforts. She reports to George Brennan, Interstate’s executive vice president, sales and marketing.

“Emily’s extensive experience in the hospitality industry includes six years of director-level hospitality sales,” Brennan said. “With her strong leadership skills and sales and marketing expertise, Emily will play a key role in driving major account level corporate sales for Interstate’s portfolio.”

Lynn previously served as director of sales and marketing at the 367-room Hilton Lexington Downtown Hotel & Conference Center in Kentucky.

Previously, she served as a meeting planner for a not-for-profit organization, arranging events ranging in size from 20 to 8,000 people.

A Kentucky native, Lynn began her hospitality career at the front desk of the Hilton Suites Lexington Green and quickly moved up the ladder to positions of increasing responsibility, ultimately landing the position of sales manager.

She earned a bachelor’s degree from the University of Kentucky and is a Certified Meeting Planner.
