Johnston will be based out of Vancouver, BC, Canada.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Hospitality sales and marketing teams are navigating rapid technology change, including AI\u2019s role in their businesses, while protecting something that took decades to build: beautiful, personalized, on-brand guest and planner\u2019s experiences,&#8221; said Jascha Kaykas-Wolff, CEO of Visiting Media. &#8220;Sarah has spent her career building innovative sales organizations that deeply understand hospitality.
