Joe Dupree is the third generation of his family to build a dedicated career in the hospitality industry. Prior to joining the Forbes Travel Guide team, he was the Regional Director of Talent Development for Hyatt Hotels Corporation and was responsible for notable performance growth within North America. Over the course of his tenure with Hyatt, Dupree spearheaded development programs and training initiatives focused on service enhancement for 26 properties across the spectrum of the company’s brands. After graduating from Paul Smith’s College with a degree in Hotel Management, Dupree further honed his talents, passion and commitment to excellence during a 15-year career with Four Seasons Hotels.

Willing to move to grow, he lived and worked at properties in San Francisco, Chicago, New York, Philadelphia, Newport Beach and Austin, and finally settled with his family in the Long Island, New York area.
