Before joining Hyatt, Lewin served for ten years in various management capacities for Hilton hotels in San Francisco, Oakland, Los Angeles, San Diego and Las Vegas.

One of Lewin’s favorite quotes is, “Your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are then a leader.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
