She is the co-founder, President, and COO of Flag Luxury Group, a real estate development company focusing on luxury hotels, boutique hotels, and retail development. With her involvement in every aspect of a project from site selection, architectural and interior design, to construction, branding, and everything else in between, Dayssi ensures that each project can meet its fullest potential, which is certainly true for Flag Luxury Group’s most recent development – The Ritz-Carlton New York, NoMad.
