Continuity and readiness

Portfolio performance depends on leadership continuity, a property moving forward at the same pace, through every leadership cycle.

That continuity comes from the depth we build into our bench well before it's needed: leaders who are vetted, briefed, and ready to step into a property's next chapter immediately.

That readiness is a strategic asset, built into every engagement.

Permanent placement

A task force engagement solves for now. Permanent placement solves for the next several years and that changes what "the right fit" means.

We build the same depth of vetting and the same hands-on management into permanent searches, weighted toward whether someone is still the right leader for a property years in, not just months in.

Long-term fit is a different question than immediate need. We treat it as one.

Partnership in practice

A property's priorities change. Markets shift. Ownership evolves. Performance targets move.

Our role is to stay in the conversation as they do, adjusting our support to meet the property where it is, and where it is going.

That ongoing alignment is what partnership looks like at the leadership level.

Every founder has one.
The person who sees around corners.
The one trusted with what matters most.
The one who quietly makes impossible things happen.
We're looking for ours.

CLÜME places elite hospitality leaders across the United States. Every document, every conversation, every placement, every detail carries our name.

This isn't an admin role. It's the seat next to one of our founders, Gina Duran.

You may coordinate and conduct a hotel GM search in the morning, troubleshoot strategy sessions with the Accord Members, redesign an internal AI workflow in the afternoon, and finish the day preparing a client presentation.

You'll thrive here if you:
→ Move fast and never drop a ball.
→ Write like the brand is watching.
→ Solve problems before reporting them.
→ Run AI like a pilot, not a passenger.
→ Guard confidential information like it's radioactive.
→ Build systems where none exist.
→ Own outcomes, not just tasks.
→ Speak hospitality fluently.
→ Builds relationships and bridges

Requirements
• 3+ years in hotels or another high-touch professional services environment.
• Exceptional written communication.
• High standards. Low ego. Extreme ownership.
Not for everyone.
Built that way on purpose.

📩 [email protected]
Subject: “Keeper of the Accord” — Your Name
No cover letter.
Send one sharp paragraph explaining why this is you.

Then answer this:
Tell us about a time you saw something that needed to be fixed, improved, or protected—and nobody asked you to do it. What did you see, what did you do, and what changed because of it?

It was wonderful spending time with the Outrigger ‘ohana last week at the Travel Weekly opening reception. We got an exclusive first look at the renderings for the $100 million transformation of Outrigger Waikiki Beach Resort and it looks stunning.

They're reimagining the guestrooms, refreshing the public spaces, and expanding the Voyager 47 Club Lounge. All while keeping that authentic “barefoot luxury” feel grounded in Waikiki’s culture and connection.

The resort will stay open throughout the renovation, with new guestrooms debuting in Q3 2026. Smart approach.
