In the last few months, we have proudly featured many of our Beedie Luminaries. Side by side in their success is our wonderful mentors.
Meet mentor, John O’Neill who is the Chief Executive Officer of AHIP. He is an accomplished hospitality professional with over 30 years of experience in hotel investment, development and management.
Why did you decide to become a mentor with Beedie Luminaries?
I’m inspired by education and by Beedie’s passion for philanthropy. And honoured to give back.
What was the best advice you were ever given by your mentor?
Be prepared for every meeting you attend. And, good things happen when you show up!
What would you tell your 18 year-old self now?
Dont sleep-walk through university! Take advantage of those years (18-21) to do more than attend classes. Do something and be passionate.
What are you reading right now?
Fiction: Nothing Ventured (Jeffrey Archer).
Non Fiction: Titan (Ron Chernow)
Thank you, John O’Neill!
