Hospitality America Taps the Talents of Paul Isaacson as Chief Financial Officer

GREENVILLE, S.C – As Hospitality America accelerates its growth and prepares for the opening of multiple new hotel developments, the appointment of Paul Isaacson as Chief Financial Officer marks a critical strategic investment in the company’s future. His arrival comes at a pivotal time, as the organization sharpens its focus on scalable financial systems, enhanced forecasting, and investment discipline to support expansion.

Initially I was introduced to Paul through a professional connection, and his financial acumen, data-driven decision-making, and deep understanding of hotel asset management were distinguishable.  With impressive credentials — including a master’s degree in finance and a successful track record in technology-enabled financial leadership — Paul is well positioned to help guide Hospitality America through its next phase of growth with confidence and precision. Ben Campbell, Hospitality America President and CEO

As a trusted business advisor, Isaacson brings to Hospitality America a strong reputation for delivering results through customer-centric and financially strategic leadership. He has created value across the full real estate investment lifecycle, including financial planning and reporting, asset management, transactions, debt financing, and mergers & acquisitions. With a proven ability to turn vision into execution, Isaacson has led high-performing teams, negotiated complex deals, and implemented investment strategies that consistently drive stakeholder returns and long-term profitability.

Industry Experience

Prior to joining Hospitality America, Isaacson served as Senior Vice President for CBRE Hotels Advisory in Atlanta. There he leveraged his network and relationships to provide consulting, valuation, and advisory services to a diverse list of clients to meet their business, strategic and real estate investment needs. He also served as President and Principal for Stillwater Real Estate Consulting; Assistant Vice President, Asset Management, for Watermark Capital Partners; Director, Global Corporate Finance, Acquisitions and Mergers for IHG Hotels & Resorts; Senior Consultant, Real Estate Valuation Services for Arthur Andersen; and Consultant at Keystone Consulting Group. Isaacson holds a Master of Science in Finance degree from Georgia State University, and a Bachelor of Science in Real Estate from Florida State University. To stay current with industry trends and foster a strong network, Isaacson regularly attends hospitality industry events and is a member of multiple hospitality professional organizations.

Everyone I spoke with, from management companies to brands to third-party operators, had high praise for the leadership team at Hospitality America leadership team. After seeing Ben’s vision firsthand and evaluating the tools and resources in place, I was confident this was the right fit for me.

Over the next 30 to 60 days, Isaacson said he will spend time familiarizing himself with the Sage accounting system and overseeing its integration with the company’s business intelligence solution. Next, working with a strong team, he plans to leverage forecasting and business analytics to help communicate risks and opportunities in forecasts to better manage the business from a financial standpoint. His goal is to reduce reporting times, improve communication at the investment level, build on true opportunities, mitigate risks, and protect the company’s investments. Finally, he plans to visit all hotels and give one-on-one support to each property’s finance team.

There is a lot to do, Isaacson said. Working with existing owners, I plan to build out new investments and ensure that the hotels coming online ramp up as fast as possible and perform as well as possible. As new opportunities present themselves, we will be cautiously optimistic that we can capitalize on that growth. We’ll stay ready for the unexpected and confidently navigate whatever challenges come our way.

What really excites me about this opportunity is working alongside some really great people, Isaacson added. The team has worked extremely hard to position Hospitality America for growth, and the investment in technology – namely business intelligence and data analytics platforms – will enable us to think more strategically across the portfolio. The foundation of the team and its use of technology in a strategic way has positioned Hospitality America as a leader in the market. I anticipate 2025 to be quite an exciting year.

When he is not working, Isaacson is a fun-loving family man who enjoys spending time with family and friends. He stays active running, playing golf and taking his two Labrador Retrievers for long walks. He enjoys attending sporting events and live concerts, as well as traveling to new places.
