Jay Anderson started as a Controller with Wyndham International, working in both the downtown hotel and resort markets. He was soon promoted to Area Controller, overseeing a diverse portfolio of fifteen hotels and resorts in the Northwest and Midwest, including The Buttes Resort, The Peaks, Carmel Valley Ranch, The Golden Door Spa and the Boulders Resort. Soon after, Anderson moved to the corporate office in Dallas and maintained their SAP and Hyperion Essbase systems. He eventually moved to Aimbridge Hospitality as a Director of Finance, where he was responsible for building their reporting and budgeting tools. As Aimbridge grew, Anderson was promoted to Vice President of Finance and Assistant Treasurer, and took ownership for the daily cash management of over 80 hotels as well as all corporate reporting to ownership.
