Katleen Penel

Entrepreneur | Keynote Speaker | Lecturer | Mentor | HR & Hospitality Specialist 

For Katleen, having grown up in her parent’s hotel in Belgium means that the spirit of hospitality runs through her DNA. Educated in the hotel industry from childhood, taught in prestigious hotel schools and working as a consultant for a number of hotels has led her to the belief that “the hospitality industry is the fine print of our society.”

Nevertheless, whilst she feels “privileged to have grown up in it, as it made her who she is,” She explains that there’s one big downfall, in that you “always have to smile.”
