From Zero Hotel Experience to Revenue Expert: 26 Years, One Bold Move | Annemarie Gubanski
What happens when you apply for a job you know nothing about and tell them exactly that? For Annemarie Gubanski, it was the start of a 26-year career that changed the way independent hotels across Scandinavia think about revenue.
Dutch-born and Stockholm-based, Annemarie is the founder and CEO of Taktikon, one of Scandinavia’s leading revenue management consultancies, and the organizer of the Global Revenue Forum — a simultaneous multi-city event running across Stockholm, London, Amsterdam, and Madrid. She started with zero hotel experience, wrote a letter saying so, and got hired at Radisson anyway.
In this episode of Hospitality Folks:
Why revenue management is never a one-size-fits-all strategy
How to embrace analytics even if you don’t think you’re a numbers person
What makes independent hotel consulting different from chain-side revenue roles
Why the best client relationships feel less like business and more like partnership
What the pandemic revealed about how Taktikon truly operates
Her message for anyone in hospitality who’s waiting to feel ready
For revenue managers, GMs, and commercial leaders in the Nordics ready to think differently about strategy, people, and growth.
