Commenting, Yotel chief executive, Hubert Viriot, said: “I would like to join our board of directors in welcoming Lisa to the team.
“Lisa will bring an immense amount of experience and skills to the table at a time when Yotel is expanding rapidly and needs to optimise its growing revenue to negotiate the best possible global partnerships.”

Commenting on her appointment, she said: “The world is going through unprecedented change.
