Alex Metz
VP, SalesDo you know someone who speaks 6 different languages and is also fluent in the “language” of hospitality…we do! Alex Metz was born and raised in Brazil where hospitality is truly a part of the culture. She loves being a step ahead knowing what a client needs before they do. To Alex, there is nothing more rewarding than exceeding the expectations of a colleague, vendor, client, or guest, one event at a time.
