Chris Gebert

Senior Vice President Development

"I wake up every morning looking for opportunities to create meaningful hotel projects. Taking any idea or vision from inception to completion is one of the great joys in life. Hotel development is no different. Some people see a dirt site, I see a blank canvas. Furthers my belief we are all artists at heart in our own way."

What makes LodgeWorks unique? 

LodgeWorks has an inarguable history of proven success which starts with our willingness to take reasonable risks within our industry.  Whether it was initiating the concept of a residential hotel in the early ‘80s, incorporating innovative room types to that lodging niche in the ‘90s or birthing a boutique brand in the new millennium, LodgeWorks is a truly creative brand building organization highly recognized in the lodging industry.   

What’s special about the culture here?

A description of the LodgeWorks culture is not a paragraph that can be found in any employee handbook.  Highly successful cultures are not preconceived, they occur organically.  You can’t teach culture.  It’s either there or isn’t.  Any organizational culture starts with the personality of the original visionary and it eventually permeates through the entire organization.  Our formula is simple.  Entrepreneurial Spirit + Applied Expertise + Favorable Chemistry + Mutual Respect + Loyalty = LodgeWorks Culture.  Our culture blurs the line between work and personal life in a unique and favorable way.  We are fiercely loyal to each other as friends and family members are.  

Teamwork is obviously a key component of success. What makes the LodgeWorks team tick?

Experience, independent thinking and chemistry are the keys to our success.  Our approach is free flowing, not homogenized and the results have been innovative and historically unique to our industry.  Each partner brings a different expertise and perspective to the group.  Most importantly, we trust each other to do everything we can, both individually and collectively, to accomplish our mutual goals.
