Garry Hallinan
Garry Hallinan, a native of Galway, Ireland, grew up immersed in his
family’s hotel and restaurant business. After earning his degree
in hotel and catering management from the Galway Institute of Technology,
Garry began his hospitality career at the prestigious Shelbourne Hotel
in Dublin, Ireland. This was followed by tenure at The Grand Hotel Victoria-Jungfrau
in Interlaken, Switzerland.
After Switzerland, Garry moved on to hospitality management positions in Paris and later in Boston. Fourteen years ago, he moved to San Francisco and assumed a directorship of food and beverage operations before being promoted to sales management positions at the Stanford Court Hotel on Nob Hill. Garry later transferred to the position of Director for Business Development for a local destination management company in San Francisco.
Garry attributes his success to established ties with various local hospitality partners, his hands-on approach, thoroughness with detail, and personal attention to each individual client.
Garry takes pride in some of his biggest professional and personal
accomplishments. This includes being the recipient of the prestigious
Chairman's Club Award from Marriott International, and serving as an
active member of The Guardsmen, a San Francisco non-profit organization
whose members are devoted to advancing at-risk Bay Area youth by funding
indoor and outdoor educational programs.
Garry enjoys spending his leisure time with his wife and friends, as
well as logging in some time on various golf courses around the Bay
Area.
