Senior Vice President, Management
AKAM
“Jaime plays a crucial role in shaping AKAM’s success and culture. A champion for professional development, she spearheaded staff training manuals and team knowledge shareouts. She applies her hospitality background to provide properties with stellar service and capital project guidance. Her dedication and passion are pivotal traits.” - Gianna Nolte, Marketing & Communications Manager at AKAM.
In the last 12 months what accomplishment are you most proud of? I’m proud of the team I’ve built at AKAM, our collective achievements, and the support we provide each other. Investing in team growth through training and team outings pays dividends. Encouraging members to share subject matter expertise fosters professional development and confidence. Many have advanced and become leaders, and one mentee recently won a prestigious REBNY Rising Star award. While their success is theirs, I’m proud to have contributed to their journey.
Best advice for new leaders: Always be open to listening to feedback and new ideas.
