Client Service Manager
As Hunden’s Client Service Manager, Mr. Hawkins manages all client-facing communications, administrative efforts, contracting, and related items that Hunden engages in on a daily basis. He coordinates marketing and client communications and transitions new projects from proposal, to contract, to final execution. Cory brings more than six years of hospitality, operations, and sales experience to Hunden from prior years working with Marriott and Hilton hotel brands, as well as two years of marketing and advertising sales experience with Yelp in Scottsdale, Arizona.
In addition to managing client satisfaction and communications, Mr. Hawkins coordinates all of the vendor, developer, and/or operator/management solicitation and selection processes. He works with our Project Management team to oversee every aspect of the solicitation processes, from creation of the RFQ/P documents and upfront communication with the client and bidders, to running the in-person site tours, proposal evaluations and rankings, and bidder interviews. Cory has led these processes in tandem with CEO Rob Hunden for the last five years in places like Tulsa, OK; Columbus, IN; Sioux City, IA; and Fort Worth, TX, among others.
Mr. Hawkins received a Bachlor of Science in Kinesiology with a minor in business entrepreneurship from Indiana University in Bloomington, Indiana.
