Send us a text For this episode I’m joined by founder of Integrated Hospitality Consulting, Jody Jacobson, who discusses her journey to entrepreneurship while serving the hospitality industry. Jody specializes in driving financial excellence and optimizing business performance for companies in the hospitality industry. She does this with a strong focus on providing clear direction and strategic vision, helping organizations maximize profitability and streamline operations. As a consultant, Jody partners with CFOs and finance leaders to deliver solutions that empower high-level strategic planning and effective financial reporting. Jody's journey from full-time employee to entrepreneur has not been all smooth sailing and we discuss key elements of this. Key takeaways: Jody experienced both supportive and challenging dynamics in female leadership. The hospitality industry faces significant challenges post-COVID, particularly in staffing. Technology should enhance guest experience without being intrusive. Jody believes in the power of paying it forward and supporting others in the industry.
