Lesya Batsuk has been promoted to Group Finance Manager of Hotel Co 51, heading up the operator’s Finance Department. An accomplished financial leader with strong budgeting and planning skills, Lesya brings 17 years of strategic accounting expertise to the position.
Prior to joining the hotel management company in 2021, Lesya spent over eight years in a senior financial management role at Intertrust Group. While working for international clients, she honed her experience of navigating statutory regulations across multiple countries to comply with differing European jurisdictions and reporting technologies.
Since joining Hotel Co 51, Lesya has been instrumental in establishing its centralised finance structure and introducing systems across Europe from the company’s Amsterdam headquarters. Since then, Hotel Co 51s portfolio has expanded to 42 properties across five Marriott International brands and eight countries.
With the support of five direct reports, Lesya oversees a 29-strong team who represent 15 nationalities and speak 20 languages. She is responsible for driving efficiencies across the business and developing ethical financial processes that support the company’s focus on high-performing, sustainable hotels.
This is the hotel operator’s second internal promotion to its senior leadership team in recent months, following Wayne Androliakos’s appointment as Hotel Co 51 CEO in June 2024.
Hotel Co 51 CEO, Wayne Androliakos, said: “Lesya’s contributions to Hotel Co 51’s financial operations over the last three years have been invaluable, with her experience of managing complex legislations a particular asset as we’ve scaled up the business across diverse European countries.
“We are passionate about developing internal talent and delighted to promote Lesya to her new role. I am confident that Hotel Co 51’s finance department will continue to thrive under Lesya’s resourceful leadership.”
