The Chief Executive Officer of Kerten Hospitality, Marloes Knippenberg, has an innovative mindset that has helped span the organization’s operational and pipeline portfolio to new heights and geographies from Los Angeles, the Middle East, CEE, to the Mediterranean, moving further east to get to the west.

Her journey in the hospitality field started with Hilton where Marloes held senior operational and commercial management positions for over a decade. At the helm of Kerten Hospitality, which she developed and launched with the backing of Kerten, Ireland-based investment vehicle, Marloes demonstrates the added value that mixed-use, tailored hospitality solutions and personalized approaches deliver.

Inspired by the notion that technology and hospitality go hand in hand, her Disruptive Innovation vision has not only been adopted at Kerten Hospitality but she continuously pioneers it across the larger ecosystem with the aim to establish an industry platform where technology, hospitality and sustainability coexist and evolve for the benefit of consumers, investors and businesses.
