Derek’s main focus will be on providing pre-opening assistance in Sub-Saharan Africa. At the same time, he will assist the team to lead hospitality companies to improved new hotel opening project performance, enabling them to open hotels more effectively and efficiently. 

His experience and regional knowledge in hotel openings and Revenue Management will further strengthen Northside Consulting’s existing client relationships and develop new ones in the region.
