Radisson Hotel Group

It can be a career pathway.

Radisson Hotel Group is sending a similar message through its 2026 Career Fest with a focus on career mobility, learning, leadership, AI, and careers that don't necessarily follow the traditional straight line up an organizational chart.

And I find this interesting because I worked in hospitality earlier in my career And hospitality has always had something special going for it.

You could start somewhere relatively low in an organization and learn the business from the inside.

Our guest today brings more than 20 years of commercial, hospitality, and customer experience leadership to the live events industry.

Sean Philby built much of his career in hospitality, holding senior sales and marketing roles with Malmaison, Hotel Duvin, and Radisson Hotel Group, where he ultimately oversaw sales and marketing across the UK, Ireland, and Western Europe.

He later moved into education as global head of customer experience and acquisitions at Inspired Education Group, adding another dimension to his experience in customer strategy and international growth.

In 2022, Sean joined Encore, initially leading its global sales organization across EMEA before taking responsibility for sales strategy and growth.

Finally, Radisson just showed that net zero isn't only for shiny new buildings.

Radisson Hotel Group added four hotels to its verified net zero program, three in Stockholm and one in Copenhagen.

That brings its net zero portfolio to nine, on the way to a goal of 100 by 2030.

The headline is that some of these buildings are old.

I'm John Shigarian, and I'm so honored to have with us today Inge Heibrich.

She's the Chief Sustainability and Security Officer from Radisson Hotel Group.

Welcome, Inge, to the Impact Podcast.

Very happy to be

It's succeeded in a few different roles.

And then I joined Radisson Hotel Group 15 years ago.

And now, in the meantime, I have added safety and security and public affairs to my to my remit.
