Leading a new company doesn't start with a strategy—it starts with trust.

At The Lodging Conference, I spoke with Ben Perelmuter, President & CEO of Remington Hospitality, about how he's shaping the company's culture, building his leadership team, and staying focused on what matters most: property performance.

Here's what stood out: 👉 Trust takes time. Ben already knew many on his team, which gave him credibility on day one—but he knows leadership means earning it every day. 👉 He built his executive foundation fast, hiring Jason Krull as COO and Corey Chambers to lead revenue and sales—two people he's worked with before and deeply trusts. 👉 Their chemistry creates a "one plus one equals three" effect—moving faster because they share shorthand and alignment. 👉 With RevPAR growth slowing and cost pressures rising, Remington focuses on execution, group business, and performance at the property level.

Ben's philosophy is simple: focus on the fundamentals, hire people you trust, and build from the ground up—one brick at a time.
