On this episode of Suite Success, host Katie Cline welcomes Frits van Paasschen, the former CEO of Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide. Frits takes us through his fascinating career journey—from his early days as a consultant at Boston Consulting Group and McKinsey, to leadership roles at powerhouse brands like Nike and Disney, and ultimately steering Fortune 500 giants like Coors and Starwood. He shares insights from his best-selling book, The Disruptors' Feast, unpacks what visionaries like Danny Meyer and Arianna Huffington have in common, and explains why being an "information omnivore" is a game-changer (and why you should be one too). His passion for creativity, innovation, and collaboration is both inspiring and actionable. Tune in for a masterclass in leadership, adaptability, and the future of hospitality from one of the industry’s most forward-thinking minds.
