Kimberly “Kim” Barnes Greca (’87)

Senior Vice President of Sales & Marketing
Tishman Hotel Corporation

Kimberly “Kim” Barnes Greca has spent her career helping global hospitality brands grow and thrive. Her passion for leadership and organizational involvement began early, serving as a local, state and national officer in Future Business Leaders of America while attending Warren East High School in Bowling Green, Kentucky. She was recently inducted into her high school’s Hall of Distinguished Alumni.

Before joining Tishman in 2004, Kim worked for Hilton Hotels Corporation in Beverly Hills, California, and at several Hilton-owned and operated properties in Los Angeles and New York. She also held roles with Starwood Hotels and Resorts in Orlando, Florida, representing the Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin Resort as director of sales.

Listed in the Registry for Women of Excellence and a member of the National Association of Professional and Executive Women, Kim has dedicated her career to supporting and advancing industry professionals. She is active in Meeting Professionals International (MPI), the Professional Convention Management Association (PCMA) and the American Society of Association Executives (ASAE). She also serves as editor-in-chief of Tishman’s Meeting Excellencepublication.

While a student at Hilton College, Kim met Eric Hilton through Future Business Leaders of America — he served on the board of directors, and she served as a national officer. He took an interest in her professional development, encouraging her growth and serving as a mentor.

At the College, Kim earned a Hilton Foundation Scholarship, was actively involved in Gourmet Night and launched the Hilton Archives project. As an alumna, she has given back to the College as a speaker for the Dean’s Distinguished Leadership Series and through continued participation in other College activities.

When she’s not traveling for work, Kim enjoys spending time outdoors — especially at the ocean — and boating with family and friends. She also loves leisure travel that offers unique excursions and memorable experiences.
