“We are thrilled welcome Gabi to the team,” Gabriel Constantin, GM of the Trump Hotel Chicago, said in a statement. “His history of successful leadership in multiple facets across the hotel industry will be a phenomenal asset to our guests. His keen eye and attention to detail embody the high standards of hospitality for which our property is known worldwide.”
In his new role, Soanca will work alongside Constantin to maintain the property. Soanca began his career in the hospitality industry at the Ritz-Carlton, Cleveland as a manager in training. His professional trajectory continued as he joined the opening team of the InterContinental Conference Center in Cleveland. For more than three and a half years he continued to increase his level of responsibility across the property before moving on to open the group’s Montelucia Resort & Spa in Scottsdale as director of banquets.
