Women in Real Estate 2018: Denihan Thinks Outside the Box at Family Hotel Business
Christina Denihan literally grew up in the hotel business: her grandfather founded Denihan Hospitality Management, where today she is managing director. She saw how her grandfather, father and aunts and uncles went above and beyond to ensure an exceptional guest experience, and has strived to maintain that tradition.
However, being true to proven best practices doesn’t mean resting on your laurels or adhering to doing things the way they’ve always been done. Denihan has repeatedly demonstrated an ability to think outside the box, whether about the design of the company’s hotels or the business side.
These are just a few reasons we chose Denihan as one of the 2018 Women in Real Estate Award winners. Connect Media’s Women in Real Estate Awards honor the achievements and inspirational stories of women who have reached respected positions of leadership and play key mentorship roles for others.
From a community relations standpoint, Denihan spearheaded two important initiatives. She helped design a summer 2018 externship for four of the NYC Department of Education’s Career and Technical Education instructors that would help them learn important aspects of business management and operations that they could then apply to their curriculums.
She also developed the recently-announced The James Connection, a workforce development at The James Washington DC that allows members of the community and a small group of high school students to participate in a shadow program to learn about the industry.
