Jessica Arredondo has more than 20 years of experience in hotel operations, guest services, events and sales. She began her career at the Holiday Inn Long Beach Airport in 2004 and joined The Westin Long Beach in 2009. After holding several positions there, she moved into sales.
Most recently, Arredondo managed group accounts in the Midwest and Southeast as a senior sales manager. She generated about $4 million in annual revenue, according to Visit Pasadena.
In her new role, Arredondo will work with local hotels, venues and other hospitality businesses, as well as meeting planners.
Both of Arredondo’s children work at the front desk at The Westin Long Beach. They report to the same director who hired Arredondo in 2009.
Visit Pasadena Executive Director Kristin McGrath said Arredondo’s experience in hospitality and group sales would support the organization’s efforts to attract meetings and events to the city.
