This month's 'First Fridays Coffee, Quick Pitch & Conversation' will feature a 15-minute presentation by Andy Lykens (EMBA '22) and his wife Mary Curran on Isodoro Hotel, a boutique hospitality concept set in a 12th century Italian villa overlooking the Umbrian countryside. Isidoro will offer luxury accommodations, a relaxing lounge, and an ideal setting near a nature reserve, hot springs, and accessible easily from Rome and Florence. The hotel offers luxury travelers escape from mainstream tourism and the chance to experience a more authentic and less crowded Italy.  The adjacent Piccola Volpe music venue will host musical artists in an ancient wine cellar and offers aperitivo, local specialties, hand poured cocktails and guest sommelier events. Isidoro is currently doing a small friends & family raise to capitalize the renovation & opening of the hotel. 

The Team: Mary has 20 years experience building and running a high-profile, celebrity-client driven business in the US and Italy. She has traveled the world with her clients and deeply understands their mindset, preferences, and desires. Andy currently works at Netflix, where he's spent the past 10 years building a global music operation through rapid scale from 1300 to 10,000+ employees.
