Michael Cahill Has Spent Four Decades Reading Hotels Like Balance Sheets
Before a hotel becomes a deal, Michael Cahill sees an operating business, a piece of real estate and a daily referendum on demand. His career has been an exercise in making those moving parts legible.
Michael Greene
Michael Greene is the CEO and President of Skylark, a New York based luxury travel agency that blends human travel advisors with high-tech booking tools. A Cornell Hotel School graduate, he spent a decade building hospitality marketplaces - leading the Amex Global Dining Network and global growth at Resy, co-founding the members-only restaurant platform Dorsia, and serving as Chief of Staff at Avero. He now leads Skylark and its members-only last-minute luxury hotel platform, Wanderluxe.
Michael Pollak
Michael Pollak is a New York based serial founder who keeps spotting personal-care rituals stuck in old-fashioned settings and rebuilding them as warm, branded experiences. He co-founded Heyday, the company that pulled the facial out of the spa and grew it into a national chain, then in 2024 launched Great Many, a hair growth studio and telehealth brand in NoHo that treats thinning hair with the comfort of a lounge and the rigor of a clinic. Trained at the Cornell Hotel School, he leads with hospitality instincts and gut-first decisions.
