Deirdre Yack Deirdre Yack started her career at Le Parker Meridien where she spent six years developing feeder markets for the AAA Four Diamond property. During this time, Yack also committed three years to the United States Air Force Reserves, undergoing basic training and devoting weekends to the military. The experience solidified Yack’s values of respect, teamwork, and an effective chain of command, tenets that helped shape her hospitality career. Additional sales positions were held with Omni Berkshire Place, The Regent Wall Street, and Denihan Hospitality Group. She then realized her passion for property openings, and joined Highgate Hotels in 2009 to launch the Hilton Fashion District. With a number of additional openings under her belt - including Hyatt 48 Lexington in 2011 and The Lexington New York City Marriott Autograph Collection in 2013 - as well as a return to Denihan in 2014, Yack brings more than two decades of sales experience to Hotel 50 Bowery.
