officer.
"I have had the pleasure of getting to know and work with Doug

appointment to our new advisory board is recognition of his
valuable service both in the past, and in going forward," Prakash
concluded.
Doug Marriott commented, "Working with Shiva over the past year
to help cultivate his dream of net-positive-revenue-to-the-hotel HD

hotel, and hospitality industries have certainly faced challenges
over the past ten years, and I am proud to be a part of bringing
this 'game-changing' business model to the hotel industry."
