Recovery? What recovery? | By Sir David Michels

The illustrious career of Sir David Michels covers half a century. Former CEO of Hilton Group PLC, and sitting now on the board of both Strategic Hotels & Resorts and Jumeirah Hotels, Sir David has experience as a hotelier and executive that is broad and deep. With his valuable industry and managerial know-how – not to mention his sardonic sense of humor – there is hardly a better man to ask for a helicopter view of the coming year.
