Daniel Roger Managing Director Europe

A native of Chile, Daniel came to Europe as a young man to learn the hotel trade. His career has led him to Spain, Switzerland, England, the Czech Republic, Israel, and Germany, where he’s been with Leonardo since 2006. Since then, he has helped grow the Leonardo brand from one property in Berlin to more than 65 hotels spread across 11 European countries.

According to Daniel, Leonardo invested a lot in technology in order to make itself known on the European market. Like many of his colleagues, he is very proud of Leonardo Academy, created five years ago to give Leonardo employees the chance to develop their careers.

The Academy is a reflection of what Daniel says makes the company special: he and his colleagues want to develop Leonardo while creating opportunities for their own people to improve themselves. The program is a huge success for Leonardo: 12 of its properties are currently being run by Academy students.
