Audio Interview with Leland Pillsbury, Co-Chairman and CEO Thayer Lodging Group

Keith Kefgen is pleased to announce the release of the second interview in the HVS Leaders Series. The program is designed to engage C-Level executives in a real-time discussion regarding industry events.

The first topic discusses the emergence of Alternative Investments and their impact on the economy. Alternative Investments such as private equity and hedge funds have been aggressively acquiring hotel, gaming, restaurant and retail assets. Many suggest that the private equity model increases leverage in an effort to bolster higher equity returns. This may deliver great short-term results but does it serve the best interest of investors over the long haul?

Our second interview is with Leland Pillsbury, the Chief Executive Officer of Thayer Lodging Group, who is on the forefront of involving private equity investment within the hotel industry.
