Strawberry prepares for increased growth - establishes new role as Senior Vice President Commercial

With over 20 new hotel projects and 4,000 hotel rooms in the pipeline, Strawberry is strengthening its organization with a newly created position of Senior Vice President Commercial. Headhunted for the assignment is Christian Borg.

Since it was founded in the 1990s, the Strawberry hotel group has focused on the combination of growth, profitability and guest satisfaction. In May 2023, the company launched a new name and broader ambition to continue offering visitors and residents in the Nordic region experiences. In the coming year, Strawberry will continue to grow strongly in the Nordic market through, among other things, increased hotel capacity, new restaurants and strategic partners. Strawberry is now setting up a new function as Senior Vice President Commercial. The role will be highly important to be able to create the conditions for further development.

- Christian is one of the best in our industry in the Nordics, in terms of commercial leadership. With him, we are now gathering the commercial forces and creating a strong team to continue building a financially strong business that puts the guests in focus. In addition to great knowledge, Christian is also a recognized team player who not only has the ability to enthuse and motivate his employees but also has a strategic and visionary mindset. It's an unusual combination that we value highly, says Katalin Paldeak, COO Strawberry.

    Christian Borg has over 20 years of experience from large hotel companies, where in various managerial positions he was responsible for commercial management, revenue management and distribution. Most recently as commercial director for Scandic Hotels Finland. He holds a Bachelor in Hotel Management from Arcada, University of Applied Science.

    - Strawberry is a very exciting company that not only manages to exceed the guests' high expectations, but also manages to be commercially strong. I am very much looking forward to becoming a part of the company and through my expertise contribute to developing the business further with the important key people - within total profit, sales, food & beverage and branding who are already in place, says Christian Borg.

      In the role of Senior Vice President Commercial, Christian Borg will be responsible for developing and implementing sales and revenue management strategies as well as ensuring effective utilization of pricing, distribution and marketing strategies to maximize revenue and profit.

      Christian Borg lives in Helsinki and, in addition to that city, will have Strawberry's headquarters in Oslo and Stockholm as his workplaces. He will start his new position in the beginning of 2024.
