Description

At the NEWH Leadership Conference in Paris, two familiar faces reunited after more than a decade apart — Diana Dobin, Co-CEO of Valley Forge Fabrics, and Will Dowling, Director of Design for Virgin Hotels.

What began as a mentorship when Will was a hospitality student has evolved into a story of friendship, growth, and paying it forward. In this heart-warming minisode, they reflect on how one conversation can spark a lifelong connection—and how mentorship continues to shape hospitality’s next generation of leaders.

🎙️ Recorded live in Paris during the NEWH Leadership Conference.
