Nicole Kubitza has been appointed Director of Sales & Marketing at The Woodlands® Resort
Kubitza has honed her talents with several sizable hotel brands throughout her two decades in the business. She joined The Woodlands Resort from Westin Snowmass Resort and Wildwood Snowmass Hotel in Snowmass Village, Colo., where she was Complex Director of Sales & Marketing for nearly two years. Before departing, she led her team to compiling growth in room nights and revenue that put the properties on pace for a record year.
Previous experiences dotting Kubitza's career history also include a three-year tenure with Omni Hotels and Resorts in the Dallas/Fort Worth area, including as Director, Sales for the region; Director of Sales & Marketing at Hotel Ella in Austin, where she was a key executive on the opening team; and National Sales Manager for the Southeast territory at La Costa Resort and Spa in Carlsbad, Calif.
Kubitza looks back fondly at the start of her career in 2000 when she was Catering Sales Manager at Four Seasons Resort & Club Dallas at Las Colinas and, two years later, Sales Manager for the Southeast Territory at Four Seasons Hotel Newport Beach. "I was incredibly fortunate to start my career in a five-diamond environment," she remembers. "I learned early on what it takes to provide a world-class experience for my clients and how to ensure I set our property team up for success. It defined who I wanted to be as a leader."
Born in Chicago but raised in Arlington, Texas, Kubitza earned a Bachelor of Arts in psychology from the University of Texas in Austin, followed by a Secondary School Certification in English and psychology from the University of Texas in her hometown. A true believer in the benefits of unplugging for downtime, Kubitza's "true joy" is Max, a Labrador mix who scoots around in a doggie wheelchair since being injured in an awkward fall. "He's so happy all the time," she says. "He's taught me a lot about perseverance and how, whatever the situation, you still move forward."
