ATLANTA, GA, May 29, 2018—Hospitality Ventures
Management Group (HVMG), an Atlanta-based, private hotel investment, ownership
and management company today announced that Andy Wardner has joined the

HVMG’s vision is to be the most sought-after employer, operator
and partner in the hospitality industry, and we are confident Andy’s
contribution in his new role with the company will help HVMG continue to
