Geri Lombard, is the Vice President of Human Resources at Columbus Hospitality Management. She is from Syracuse, New York and now lives in Columbus with her husband, David, daughters, Kendall and Kayleigh, and their dog, Tucker. In her free time, Geri enjoys traveling, spending time on the water during the summer, and embracing her favorite season—fall—by apple picking and participating in outdoor activities. Her favorite travel destination is Italy, a place that holds special significance for her. Geri’s grandparents came to the U.S. through Ellis Island, and she looks forward to returning to Italy to experience its beautiful countryside, culture, and delicious food. For Geri, hospitality is all about “taking care of people in an authentic way. Putting others before yourself and genuine kindness.”
