Michaela Staskiewicz joined HelmsBriscoe in January 2011, bringing with her hotel expertise, commitment and passion for creating unique and successful experiences for her Clients. She has a Hotel and Restaurant Operation degree obtained in Finland from Espoo Hotel and Food Institute, and a Business Management degree obtained from Kennesaw University. After 19 years of experience built through time spent in various departments, including events, culinary and hotel operations in North and Western Europe, as well as North America, Michaela embraced a new challenge offered by the conference and meeting industry.

Prior to HelmsBriscoe, Michaela worked for Ritz-Carlton, Scandic Hotels, as well as other luxury boutique hotels across the two continents. Her experience contributed to her adopting a multicultural global perspective, which she personalizes to support the unique needs of each of her Clients and their programs. Furthermore, Michaela acquired an in-depth understanding of what it takes to lead a successful operation, from working with budgets, food and labor costs, to building and developing excellent customer relationships. This equipped her with the right skills for contract negotiation, as well as for making valuable suggestions for cost savings and liability control to her Clients. Her desire to anticipate and meet the needs and expectations of her planners is above all influenced by her commitment to exemplary service and values.
