For a decade, she led the Cișmigiu Hotel, a heritage building in the center of the capital, erected in 1912 under the name Palace Hotel and reopened in 2012, when Georgeta took over the management as the general manager.

Georgeta actively participated in the opening of three major hotels, including the first Sofitel hotel in Romania. In London and Paris, she held various positions within the Accor group structure, and in Bucharest, she also worked as an event manager at the World Trade Center. In 2009, she responded to the economic crisis with a new market concept, launching as Resident Manager the first apart-hotel in Bucharest - Starlight Suiten Hotel. Today, she is an active participant in hospitality institutions such as International Councillor for Europe at Skål International, member of the Skål Training and Education Committee, F.I.H.R., as well as a mentor within the Professional Women Network.

"I thank Georgeta for positively responding to the double challenge posed, namely that of being the Senior Consultant of the consulting and hotel management division of the group, hmc by winsedswiss, and at the same time a trainer at the ohma hospitality academy.

Our mission is a beautiful one and looks towards the future of the industry. On one hand, through hmc (hospitality management & consulting) , we contribute to the success of our partners' businesses, assisting them throughout all stages of their hotel projects. On the other hand, through licensed vocational programs École hôtelière de Lausanne , provided at the three ohma campuses in Oradea, Brașov, and Bucharest, we are shaping a new generation of hospitality professionals, to whom the essential ingredients for a shining career in this field are imparted by ohma instructors, experienced and renowned industry professionals, EHL certified. Therefore, Georgeta's arrival in our team is very promising, and we all wish her much success," says Christine Schillings , Chief Executive Officer winsedswiss România.

"I am a promoter of quality education and professional consultancy in the industry, since 2014, which drives me to leverage my experience within the dynamic winsedswiss team. The position of trainer at the ohma academy, which operates under the auspices of the prestigious École hôtelière de Lausanne, gives me the satisfaction of sharing the know-how accumulated throughout my career in this field which I hope will soon become attractive again for young people, as it can bring them unexpected satisfactions.

The position of Senior Consultant in strategy and management in hospitality gives me the opportunity to put my experience at the disposal of another segment at the beginning of its journey, namely the investor, the entrepreneur, to whom we provide assistance and solutions from the beginning of the project development process. We stand by the entrepreneur from the pre-opening phase, to the preparation of the hotel opening, and further, to the evaluation of hotel operations, with the aim of creating and integrating the "hospitude" approach which will constitute the starting point of an excellent guest experience in the hotel," declares Georgeta Grecu, the new Senior Consultant of winsedswiss România and trainer at the ohma academy by winsedswiss.
