From IHM’s inception, DiGuiseppe was deluged with invitations to speak at The Lodging Conference, Green West Expo, Green Hospitality Conference, Midwest Lodging Summit, and BITAC. DiGuiseppe became a frequent interviewee for Hotel Interactive, HOTELS, Lodging, Lodging Hospitality, TerraCurve, Hotel Chatter and an abundance of online trade media. IHM captured opportunities for business development by counseling clients in revenue management, green certification, online booking and hotel management contracts for resorts, business and economy hotels and independent brands. DiGuiseppe was recognized by Lodging magazine as an “industry innovator of 2009”, and IHM’s legacy in sustainable design, environmental sensitivity in FFE procurement, selection and vendor relationship dialogue blended its strategic revenue management offerings with building optimal client relationships. Always looking forward, DiGuiseppe now focuses upon the “stewardship” aspect of IHM’s mantra to provide his clients with addressing the ultimate question of sustainability: fiduciary accountability and viable business models. Even more importantly, as a hotel operator/manager he has the capacity to maximize cash flow and return on investment for his clients’ properties, which in turn increase the value. DiGuiseppe and family have lived in Westlake Village, California for 30 years and holds a Juris Doctor from Abraham Lincoln University of Law and a Bachelor of Arts in Sociology from California State University, Northridge.
