Biography
Humbly Honored as one of the Top 50 Executives in Hospitality - October 2024 and the Top 100 People in Global Hospitality by the International Hospitality Institute 3 years running, I created a global organization with four divisions focused on hospitality. In 2009, BLLA was born and is the only official organization for the world's verified boutique (and luxury boutique) hotels, promoting industry sector growth, connections to resources and capital, and education through several annual conferences and continuing podcasts and videos, with a crystal clear focus on advocacy for independent owners and operators. As a pioneer in forecasting the boutique movement, BLLA remains a market segment leader among hotel owners and investors/developers in the specialty hospitality space. I am pleased that our network has grown beyond our expectations. I run BLLA and its three divisions alongside my wonderful daughter, Ariela Kiradjian. Together, we transverse the globe, searching for properties and people to join us. You can review our BLLA Corporate Manifesto video (https://vimeo.com/720072645) and experience the intention behind BLLA Events in this video (https://vimeo.com/763219963). Additionally, there are many sizzle reels of past conferences on bllaevents.com. After 15 years of leading the boutique community, it is refreshing to say that BLLA is a catalyst for trends and the future of the boutique lifestyle. BLLA.org and our sister companies, BLLAevents.com, stay-boutique.com, boutiquemoneygroup.com, and tiewn.com (a community of 13,300 women in hospitality & travel that I launched just before BLLA making TIEWN one of the earliest adopters of bringing women to the forefront of our industry with an on-stage presence at all our events and access to high-level positions including C-level). On a personal note, my passion project is "MyLettersFromHeaven.com," a story of how 2 of my worlds collide from both my parents and their own stories beginning in the late 1800s. It is a story of intrigue, fame, and tragedy. I hold historical documents and letters that the world has never seen. I look forward to sharing this story in a book or docuseries. In the meantime, I'm happy to discuss its contents and provide access to the website.
