She held reservations and front office roles at Hilton Toronto and Hilton Toronto Airport Hotel & Suites.
Driven by a passion for travel and professional development, Griffin pursued an international career with Hilton that included leadership positions at Hilton Aruba Caribbean Resort & Casino, followed by a role with Hilton’s Front Office Development team based in the United Kingdom. She later served as area revenue manager for the Mediterranean, supporting 17 Hilton hotels across Southern Europe and the Mediterranean.
Returning to on-property leadership, Griffin held senior operational roles at the former Hilton Athens (now Conrad Athens The Ilisian) before being appointed to hotel and cluster general manager positions across Turkey, Romania and the United Kingdom, including the former Athénée Palace Hilton Bucharest and Hilton London Kensington. Her career also includes leadership roles with Jumeirah Group and Dimensions Health Centers Inc.
