CHICAGO – Officials of The Cornerstone Collective announced that Molly Paschal has been named hospitality sales representative. In her new role, Paschal will be responsible for expanding Cornerstone’s hospitality and procurement business throughout the United States with a focus on select-service through upper upscale and resort properties.
“With the continued vaccination of the country reassuring the public that it is safe to travel again, the industry is beginning to fire on all cylinders. In other words, a great deal of construction, development and renovation projects are starting to resume,” said Suzie Hall, founder and president, The Cornerstone Collective. “With 15 years of sales experience and a plethora of hospitality industry relationships, Molly is the perfect fit for our team as we look to help more owners resume and/or begin new hotel projects that were delayed over the past year and a half by the pandemic. Our collective approach with detailed recommendations to design properties safely, intelligently and prudently, better positions us to assist owners as they navigate the tricky waters ahead, from sourcing materials to providing world-class design solutions.”
Prior to joining Cornerstone, Paschal was an account leader with Chicago-based Thomas Interiors, where she was responsible for generating more than $3 million annually in sales. Previously, she held numerous sales and operational positions with a variety of hospitality companies, including private dining sales & events manager with Union Square Hospitality Group and senior business travel sales manager with Commune Hospitality/Two Roads Hospitality. She received her Bachelor of Science in Hospitality & Tourism Management from Indiana University and an Interior Design Certificate from the NY Institute of Art & Design.
“This position affords me the opportunity to marry two of my professional passions, design and hospitality,” Paschal said. “I look forward to using my sales skills and existing contacts as the Cornerstone Collective pursues its aggressive growth goals. I see this as a very meaningful way to both utilize my existing capabilities and learn more from the fantastic team Suzie has put together already.”
The Cornerstone Collective is a holistic and integrated full-service design and construction solution that accelerates and simplifies the hotel development process. The group brings proven leadership, exquisite talent, innovation and optimal resources together to create the ideal team for hospitality projects. This new, innovative approach keeps all elements of a project under one roof, advancing the process to ensure deadlines are met and strict spending budgets are kept. Meaningful results and an optimized ROI are just as important as creating unique, custom environments for guests.
Grounded in almost three decades of award-winning notable design, Cornerstone’s strategic vision through tactical solutions guarantee a best-in-class experience for our clients. Its extensive experience in high-end hospitality, resort, master planning, LEED and healthcare markets positions the company to anticipate potential gaps and to capitalize on innovative opportunities.
