Floyd Hospitality Resources

“I have known Jason Floyd for over twenty years.  During that time, I have watched him mature into a highly-talented C-level executive and become a valuable asset to any enterprise in which he works.

Jason is a skilled business executive.  He is quick to understand the company’s vision and entrepreneurial direction and to then proficiently create and execute strategies to complete the steps toward that vision.  

Jason is an outstanding leader.  A highly-competent judge of people, Jason builds teams and corporate divisions that are motivated, focused and highly productive.  He has a consistent record of a completing complex and innovative deliverables within budget and timetable expectations, all the while managing a successful and growing business.

His staff admire Jason, his clients like and appreciate him, his peers and competitors admire him and his accomplishments.  Jason engenders loyalty, enthusiasm and top-level performance.

Jason is exemplary as a businessman, a salesman, a strategist, a coach, and a friend.  I recommend him without reservation.

“With the loss of Jason, Infor Hospitality lost one of its most valuable assets.  We had many meetings together in Prague, Bavaria, and Vienna, and it was always a pleasure working with him as one of our business partners, both in the conference room and at the dining table.   He brings an open, realistic business approach to every situation and is empathetic if difficult issues must be solved.   Jason will be a c-level enrichment in any company fitting his expertise.”

Chief Operating Officer, HRG & Vienna House by Wyndham

“I met Jason many years ago while being his customer in my previous company. I was instantly impressed with his passion for Hospitality, lending to his company’s success and, more importantly, my company’s success. His demeanor, transparency, and open-door policy as a customer were brilliantly refreshing. I have actively followed him through the industry and our respective careers. I moved to the vendor side of the industry, and I was incredibly fortunate when he joined us at my company. I did not immediately report to him, but we worked together very closely, ensuring that our Hospitality business was incredibly successful. Last year with our reorg, I was blessed and excited to report to him directly. What he built with our company’s Hospitality vertical was and continues to be the most successful portion of our overall company.

Over the years, Jason has been my vendor, an industry colleague, a coworking, and a direct boss. Most importantly, he has been a mentor and a true friend.
I look forward to seeing Jason’s next step in his journey, and regardless of where he goes, that company and team will be grateful and lucky. He will lead them to their next success.

Until we meet again, my friend!

Vice President Customer Support, Infor

“I worked with Jason over many years as a business partner, colleague and direct manager. We met at Hitec in Orlando in 2008 when Jason was with Agilysys. Many years later, our paths crossed again at Infor. I highly recommend Jason as a thought leader and a great mind in hospitality. Great focus on the technology, but most important on the people, as we are in a people’s business. Jason is very growth-focused and is doing the right thing, with the customer at the forefront of all decisions. I had the pleasure of working with Jason across various companies, but overall, I won a good friend. Good luck in your future endeavors, Jason, and I hope our path may bring us together again.”

Senior Vice President & General Manager, Shiji

“Having worked with Jason for over 10 years in different companies and different capacities, I can say Jason is a truly inspirational leader – and an even better person. Jason encourages his teams to share their minds, be authentic, and do “what is right” for our customers. He would be an asset to any growth- and customer-oriented organization.”
Eric Wong
Vice President of APAC Sales, Infor

“I worked with Jason for almost 10 years, and truly enjoyed all of our interactions! He is the type of leader that will support his team in their endeavors, positively challenging them, which fosters creativity, motivation and excellence. He is extremely passionate about hospitality and the people he works with. Jason is a very kind and authentic person and I think that this is what makes the difference in his leadership style and ability to drive a team to success.”

“I consider Jason the rock star of hospitality! I have worked with him for years and have always been inspired by his leadership, vision, knowledge, and passion for his team and the job. I know great things are in his future, and I’m excited to see where he is headed next.”
Betsy Kenwood

“Having worked with Jason since 2002 in various roles and companies, I can honestly say he is a pleasure to work with and for and would not hesitate joining his team again in the future.”
Paul Staveley
Director of Partner Channels, Infor

“I met Jason on a business trip in Fort McMurray, Canada, about 25 years ago. Who would have ever known that a business relationship would build a lifelong friendship. Jason always demonstrates the utmost professionalism, loyalty, and above all job knowledge. He is an example setter for work-life balance and his dedication to his family. Jason will be successful in any role he fills and whatever life throws his way.”
Jim Bina
Treasurer / Director of Finance, Rosen Hotels & Resorts

“I first met Jason at the turn of the century, when Pinehurst Resort and Country Club (Pinehurst, NC) and sister properties sought a twenty-first-century solution for its world-class accommodations and recreation facilities. He was the Product Manager of Visual One at that time, and we were early adopters of what would become a standard for destination resorts throughout North America. Since then, Jason and I have been vendors, customers, business associates, co-workers, collaborators, innovators, and best friends. Jason’s knowledge of the international hospitality marketplace is encyclopedic — no one knows more decision-making contacts in the business than he does, and no one has a keener sense of where the market is headed than him.

Chief Information Officer, Millennium Technology / RHR

“I have had the pleasure of knowing and working with Jason Floyd for more years than either of us would care to enumerate.  A true pleasure over those years has been observing his evolution as an executive and a leader.  I have seen three unwavering characteristics in this evolution:
1) The ability to identify and focus like a laser on what is really important to solve for;
2) A complete commitment to the success of his customers and colleagues; and
3) The highest level of personal and professional ethics.

I am certain that these same innate attributes will serve Jason and his new colleagues well in the next chapter of his continued executive excellence.”
Mark Haley
Managing Partner, Prism Hospitality Consulting

“Jason directed the acquisition of our Sales & Event Marketing software company, ReServe Interactive, in 2019. Jason’s industry expertise, vision, and management style convinced our board of directors to sell to Infor. After the acquisition, I was fortunate to serve on Jason’s executive leadership team as Vice President of Development. His knowledge of the industry, and the competition, combined with his camaraderie with his staff, produced an environment rich in creativity and teamwork. Jason is skilled at making informed strategic decisions and managing risk to optimize outcomes. He listens to his experts, shields his team from unnecessary bureaucracy typical in a large corporation, and unleashes the potential of the talent that he recruits.. Infor Hospitality enjoyed impressive year-over-year sales growth and increased market share under Jason’s exceptional leadership. Jason’s motivational style would increase the productivity and teamwork of any organization, driving measurable bottom-line results.”
Lynn Carter
Co-founder, The Carter Family Foundation

“Jason is the type of leader every salesperson should wish to have. Before Jason, I hadn’t worked for an SVP whose first inclination was to say, “yes, we can make that happen.” He is a visionary and a deal-maker who promotes his clients and supports his team endlessly. Jason lives and breathes hospitality, but his real strength lies in his relationships. Because of his excellent relationships, Jason is able to negotiate and execute with internal stakeholders to move business forward while leveraging client partnerships to stay ahead of industry trends. I will forever be thankful for Jason’s leadership.”
Kasey Gieschen
Senior Account Executive, Infor

“I have worked with Jason as a business partner, a peer, and, most recently, a direct report for several years. From every angle, Jason is a man of extreme character and high ethics, epitomizing all that describes one who is loyal and works hard.  A true mentor and partner to those under and around him. Jason is a visionary leader who is strong yet humble. He knows how to build lasting relationships with his team, his prospects, his partners, and of course, his customers. Jason’s serious yet relaxed leadership style fosters great chemistry amongst his team, driving the best results for his company. In fact, in all years I reported to Jason, he exceeded his yearly goals. I look forward to working with Jason again at some point.”
Jonathan Pryor
Vice President of Food Service Management Sales, Infor

“Jason and I were colleagues for almost ten years. In addition to being widely known as one of the warmest, friendliest people in our industry, he’s also a win-win negotiator and a fantastic rapport builder. Jason understands the value of a strong relationship between sales and marketing and how that relationship helps drive steady business growth. He is deeply dedicated to the betterment of our industry and has made a career in improving hospitality through technology. His laid-back leadership style and commitment to mutually successful outcomes with his colleagues, partners, and customers will be a huge asset to his next team.”
Beth McClure
Senior Vice President of Marketing, Beachy

“I directly reported to Jason as Vice President of Sales – North America for over ten years. Jason is a gifted, highly competent senior leader across all organizational areas. He had ultimate responsibility for development, support, service delivery, and sales. He is simply outstanding at creating a vision for the business and driving execution to achieve that outcome. He always seems to find just the right balance of work, team development, and creating an enjoyable work environment that leads to a highly productive organization. In my 40+ years as a sales professional and sales leader, I have never reported to a more gifted senior leader than Jason. He is truly unique and would be an asset to any organization”
