Managing Partner
Wesley Dowdy
Wesley Dowdy has twenty years of experience in the hotel business. Starting in the sales department at a local hotel, Wesley worked his way up through the ranks of select-service operations to full-service executive leadership. From there, Wesley took on regional roles overseeing the Southeast for Premier Hotel Corporation. After leaving Premier and starting his hospitality consulting firm, he merged with Duke Hospitality. Although his tenure with Duke was focused on operational oversight, he quickly saw the opportunity to take the platform to a new level by repositioning the company as an investment vehicle responsible for deal sourcing, investor relations, fundraising, and financing. After the COVID pandemic, Wesley saw an opportunity to focus solely on Sponsorship opportunities through which he could drive long-term value and enhanced returns for investors.
