Outrigger has appointed Steve Nickerson as VP of Operations for the Americas. He brings a background across Sonesta, IHG, and, most recently, Midas Hospitality, with experience spanning full-service, select-service, and extended-stay portfolios. He will report to EVP Operations, Mike Schaff.
According to the press release, he’ll oversee hotel operations across the region, focusing on performance, consistency, and alignment with brand standards. He’ll definitely have his hands full with the renovation in progress at Outrigger Waikīkī, juggling guest expectations while upgrading a busy, high-traffic property (for the old timers, yes, Outrigger Main).
While the title covers the Americas, all of the current properties in the region are, well… Hawaiʻi. Are they foreshadowing something?
Aloha Steve, and welcome to Hawaiʻi.
