Board leadership

An operator’s perspective belongs in the boardroom.

Practical governance and disciplined oversight grounded in nearly four decades of executive decision-making.

Governance value

Strategy that survives contact with operations.

Marty McDaniel brings executive leadership across hospitality, real estate, development and complex operating platforms. His experience includes building companies, overseeing multi-property portfolios, managing through turnarounds and transitions, directing capital projects, protecting stakeholder value and translating strategy into measurable operating performance.

He is particularly suited for growth-stage, privately held, family-owned and emerging public companies seeking practical governance, disciplined oversight and an experienced operator who understands both the asset and the people responsible for its performance.
