In the latest of a regular series, we find out what makes some of the leading figures in the serviced apartment and aparthotel sectors tick. This time, we speak to Anett Gregorius, founder of German consultancy and agents Apartmentservice.de.
The best part of my job is…
Bringing our serviced apartment world forward, seeing our projects coming into existence as well as networking and thinking ahead with all the great partners, innovators and creators in our amazing industry.
The most challenging part of my job is…
Dealing with the unexpected things, which appear in my daily schedule.
My biggest achievement in business is…
Having known already in the 1990s that real revolutions are possible in our business, celebrating my 20th anniversary of founding my company this year and being respected and recognised in the serviced apartment segment.
My biggest mistake in business was…
To trust people who didn’t want the best for me.
If I wasn’t working in our industry I would like to have been…
Someone creative, travelling and photographing the world.
The best piece of advice anyone ever gave me was…
Just do it and never give up.
If I could tell my 18-year old self one thing it would be…
Your passion is the only true compass in life.
The person I admire most in hospitality is…
My mentor Dr. Udo Schaper, who introduced me to the new world of temporary living. He has paved my way through many inspiring conversations, his amazing archive, his view of the segment and life. He believed in me right from the start.
The person I admire most in history is…
Coco Chanel – an adorable self-made woman.
I am surprisingly good at…
Getting in touch with people easily.
I am surprisingly bad at…
Cooking.
My perfect day off would be…
A relaxed family day by the sea. No mobile, no appointments….
