September 2009 Scholarship Winners
Alexandre Teixeira, Revenue Manager, Grand Hyatt São Paulo
“I was exploring furthering my education, but there are no such certifications available locally. This scholarship will allow me to continue my path in revenue management as a better-prepared professional so I can continue to take on higher responsibilities within my organization as well as help to make this science more professional within the local market. Receiving the scholarship, and ultimately the certification, will significantly benefit my hotel as well as my own professional development.”
