About the eTeam (est. 2007):
The eTeam is a group of volunteers
from each hotel department that learns about eCommerce (Online
Marketing & Distribution) and the Internet (both effects and
opportunities at work and in our personal lives) and become
ambassadors in their own departments for communication related to
the same. The eTeam is also involved in creating and implementing
various best practices and special projects at the hotel that help
us do things better, faster and smarter! For questions related to
the eTeam please email me at jitendra.jain (at) starwoodhotels.com.
