Tailwind Hospitality, Inc. has appointed Michael Svagdis as its next president. An industry veteran, Svagdis previously served as CEO of SSP America, CEO of Eurest Dining Services and as president of Morrison Healthcare Food Services.
“Michael is one of the most accomplished leaders in our industry,” said Tailwind CEO Jeff Switzer. “His depth of experience and accomplishments at SSP America, running a large-scale, multi-airport portfolio with a genuine commitment to quality and partnership, is exactly what we were looking for as we continue to build Tailwind for the long term. I’m excited to partner with him and equally excited for our airport partners and team members to get to know him. This is a significant investment we are making in Tailwind’s future, and I believe it sends a clear message about how seriously we take our commitment to excellence.”
“Tailwind has built a truly special company with deep roots in its airport communities, a culture of genuine partnership, and a track record of delivering for travelers and airport operators alike,” added Svagdis. “I’ve watched this company grow and truly admire what Jeff and the leadership team have built. I am honored to join Tailwind at this exciting moment and look forward to contributing to its continued success alongside such a talented and dedicated team.”
