Pro-invest Group's General Counsel Anthony D. Ursino and People & Culture Director Amanda Isacson stepped into the shoes of our hospitality team, working a front office shift at Kimpton Margot Sydney. This hands-on experience not only deepened their appreciation for the incredible work our frontline staff do every day but also fostered meaningful connections across all levels of our organization As part of their experience, the Kimpton Margot Sydney hosted the Race of Champions event, which was an incredible success, but the magic started long before the first guest arrived. At Kimpton Margot, we had the privilege of witnessing the dedication and teamwork that goes into setting up such a high-calibre event. A huge thank you to the entire team who made it happen. Events like these don’t just take skill; they take passion, and it was on full display that night. Check out the video below to gain an exclusive behind the scenes. Anthony D.
