Wyndham Grand Orlando Resort Bonnet Creek Appoints New Senior Sales Manager

Wyndham Grand Orlando Resort Bonnet Creek has named Laurie Helley as its new Senior Sales Manager, overseeing the U.S. northeast region and international groups. As a key member of the resort sales team, Helley will leverage her extensive experience to identify, qualify and secure new opportunities from this critical market.

“We’re thrilled to welcome Laurie to our team and back to the hospitality industry,” said General Manager Cathy Zucker. “Her demonstrated expertise, leadership, and commitment to delivering outstanding service will be an asset to our team as we develop our presence internationally and continue to grow our presence in the Northeast.”

With more than 20 years of sales experience, Helley has spent the past four years excelling outside the hospitality sector, most recently as Product Specialist in the home improvement and building industry. Her extensive hospitality sales background includes key roles at prestigious hospitality brands such as Hyatt Regency Orlando, Omni Orlando Resort at ChampionsGate, and Bellagio Resort in Las Vegas, where she was recognized for her ability to grow revenue and develop high-performing sales strategies. Helley is familiar with the Wyndham brand as well, having spent time early in her career as sales manager at Wyndham Palace Resort and Spa, and eventually Regional Director of Business Development for Wyndham International in Dallas, Texas. She is an active member of several professional associations, including Meeting Planners International, Professional Conference Managers Association, and Corporate Event Marketing Association. She earned her degree in Food Service and Lodging Management from Indiana University of Pennsylvania.
