ST Media Group adds industry innovator


By Mary Scoviak

We usually report the industry’s hottest news, products, projects and ideas. As we reported today, we’re making the news. ST Media group is pleased to announce that Michelle Finn will joining the company as senior vice president of ST’s hospitality brands. As well as founding Finn Media Group LLC in 2011, 25-plus years at Hospitality Design Group and Nielsen Expositions, have given her an in-depth knowledge of the industry that makes her an invaluable addition to the ST team. As Tedd Swormstedt, ST’s president, says “Michelle has a tremendous track record for developing brands within the hospitality and related industries; she keenly understands this fast-changing design market and is responsive to the needs and demands of its customers. We are excited about leveraging Michelle’s industry knowledge, relationships and depth of experience to further grow our brands. She has a creative and customer-centric approach to business development, and I am excited to have her as part of my team as we create our plans for the future.”

Equally importantly, Finn is a thought leader. Beyond the impressive accomplishments--during her tenure, the HD brand’s revenue went from $.5 million to $28 million—she was one of the first industry insiders to understand how to align owners, operators, architects, designers and vendors on the same side. Whether it’s in trying to foster a sustainable agenda or founding HD Boutique and HD Summit, Finn has forged connections that make the impossible possible. Join us in welcoming her to ST!
