(Lynn Coletto is donating 2 hours of her time and a overnight stay package for the Ritz-Carlton to the winning bidder.)


A 15-year veteran of the hospitality management industry, Lynn is one of the few lucky people who have turned a passion into a career. While volunteering as an event chair for non-profit organizations, she discovered she had a natural talent and enthusiasm for planning charity balls and fund raising events. When several hospitality professionals took notice, she sold her residential renovation business and pursued a career in hotel management.


Lynn began her career at the Ritz-Carlton, Cleveland as the director of catering and conference services. She went on to hold the same position at the Westin O'Hare, Chicago, before returning to the Ritz-Carlton, Cleveland as member of the sales team.


Currently, as director of sales and marketing, Lynn is responsible for overseeing the 13 person sales and reservations team and directing the hotel's advertising and public relations efforts. She is also an active sales and service trainer. Lynn is the recipient of many Ritz-Carlton leadership awards and in 2003 the Convention and Visitors Bureau honored her with Hotel Sales Pro designation. Lynn was also on the team which successfully aided The Ritz-Carlton in receiving the Malcolm Baldridge National Quality Award in 1999 and 1992.


A native of Cincinnati, Lynn graduated from the University of Cincinnati with a degree in marketing and business management. Lynn and her husband, Tom, reside in Fairview Park, with their two children, David and Lauren.


Bring you energy and enthusiasm when meeting with Lynn. She is always on the go and will expect as much from you as she does from herself. Meeting can be custom-designed to meet the bidders needs.
