While working at Accor Hotels as Senior Vice President of Operations I had the pleasure through the Mantra Group Integration to work closely with Lynda Rowan ,Director of People & Culture . Lynda presented herself as a trusted and very experienced senior HR executive with a deep understanding of integrations & Mergers & acquisitions which supported from a people & human side this large transition. Her ability to listen, process & take on information about the Mantra Group business was exceptional and then succinctly translate into how this may operate within a Global group environment & structure . Aside from Lynda,s incredible capacity & capability in overall change management I truly enjoyed working alongside her . I would highly recommend Lynda in any position where she is required to harness the power of a culture ,direct change management & guide the integration of any acquisition . Her knowledge and experience within this space would be an asset to any company looking to engage her services.

I want to thank you for your support and contribution to the Ala Moana Hotel by Mantra in early 2023. Assisting our 1176 room property during the transition period between Talent and Culture Directors, Lynda used her expertise to quickly understand the business and prioritize where she could have the most meaningful impact and ensure the incoming director was set up for success. Lynda is full of energy and positivity which was well received by the hotel team from day one. There were a number of vacant roles across the complex due to the fast business growth so Lynda tackled recruitment with precision and quickly assisted the T&C team to re-focus and act quickly to secure quality candidates. I really appreciate the support Lynda gave to me and the executive committee members and for the positive impact she made in her short time with us.
