In 2005, Marriott International tapped Rossi to develop one of the corporation’s most successful brand-wide initiatives, the branding of the “Great Room” – a concept implemented in full-service Marriott properties across the country.

“Chef Millist and Paul Rossi’s wide range of experiences in the food and beverage industry, combined with their numerous accomplishments and achievements, make them valuable additions to the Camelback Inn team,” said Jim Rose, General Manager of the JW Marriott Camelback Inn Resort & Spa. “We are looking forward to seeing what new creative concepts they will bring to the resort.”
