Tenure Reinvented in Action: Emily Greydanus’ Growth Journey at TPI Hospitality
At TPI Hospitality, Tenure Reinvented isn’t just a core value—it’s the heartbeat of who we are. It reflects our belief that when people grow, companies grow. When opportunities open, careers flourish. And when talent is nurtured, everyone wins
Few stories embody that value more clearly than the career journey of Emily Greydanus, now a Sales Manager on our Maple Grove Campus.
A Career Built on Growth, Trust, and Opportunity
Emily’s path with TPI Hospitality is the perfect example of what happens when potential is recognized—and continuously supported.
Her journey began at the Staybridge Suites Arbor Lakes, where she joined the team as a Front Desk Supervisor. From the very beginning, Emily stood out for her warmth, work ethic, and ability to make guests feel right at home—qualities that set the foundation for everything that came next.
From the Front Desk to Leadership
Emily’s dedication and leadership quickly earned her opportunities to grow:
- Assistant General Manager (Staybridge Suites Eagan)
Here, she expanded her operational knowledge and strengthened her leadership skills while guiding a new team in a new market. - Front Front Office Manager (Holiday Inn Arbor Lakes)
Emily continued to evolve, taking the lead on front office operations and elevating the guest experience. - Assistant General Manager (Staybridge Suites Arbor Lakes)
Returning to Arbor Lakes, she brought with her a deeper perspective, helping drive performance and team culture forward.
Scaling New Heights in Multi-Property Operations
Emily’s next chapter led her to a dual-brand role as Operations Manager for the Residence Inn & SpringHill Suites Arbor Lakes, where she supported two bustling hotels and helped maintain the service excellence our teams are known for.
Where She Is Today
Now serving as a Sales Manager for our Maple Grove Campus, Emily continues to make an impact—building relationships, driving revenue, and showcasing the very best of TPI Hospitality.
Her story isn’t just a career progression chart. It’s a real example of what “Tenure Reinvented” means: opportunities at every level, encouragement every step of the way, and the ability to shape your own future within a company that values longevity and growth.
How We Invest in People: Mentorship, Development & Culture
Emily’s experience is just one of many. Across all departments and levels—from our on-property teams to our corporate office to our CEO—the average tenure at TPI Hospitality sits at over four years. That longevity is a direct result of how deliberately we invest in our people.
One example is the TPI ELITE leadership development program, where Emily has spent the past year working closely with her mentor, Stacie Schultz. Stacie shared:
“I’ve had the pleasure of working with Emily through the ELITE program over the past year, and it’s been an absolute privilege! Anyone who’s worked with or even just spoken to Emily knows she’s one of the most dedicated and passionate hoteliers out there. She’s built a lasting reputation as someone who isn’t afraid to roll up her sleeves and get the job done — always with a smile.
When we first started in the ELITE program, our focus was simply, ‘Where is Emily going next?’ But that quickly evolved into something much bigger: how she can be the best teammate and client ambassador possible, driving TPI to be the very best it can be.
Emily truly embodies the spirit of ‘Tenure Reinvented’ and ‘You Before Me,’ constantly finding new ways to grow, evolve, and lift others up along the way. I can’t wait to see where her journey takes her next — because wherever she goes, excellence follows.”
Her words reflect the deep commitment TPI makes to fostering leadership, confidence, and long-term success within our teams.
It’s also why TPI Hospitality has been voted a Best Place to Work by the Minneapolis–St. Paul Business Journal for the past three years in a row. Our culture is built on supporting people, celebrating their contributions, and giving them room to rise
