San Nicolas will also collaborate with OUTRIGGER’s global marketing team to ensure a cohesive brand presence while fostering a high-performing workforce committed to delivering unparalleled guest experiences.

Her trajectory within the company has been marked by her strategic vision and commitment to excellence. She transitioned to the role of Director of Human Resources in 2016, later moving to O’ahu in 2020 to serve as Senior Director of HR for OUTRIGGER Hospitality Group.
