SARATOGA SPRINGS – This week, Discover Saratoga (also known as the Saratoga Convention and Tourism Bureau) named Darryl Leggieri as President of the organization. Leggieri joins the team with a wealth of knowledge and nearly 27 years of experience in the hospitality industry.

Leggieri is to follow Todd Garofano, who is moving on to another opportunity after eight years of service.

Most recently, Leggieri served as the director of sales and marketing for the Saratoga Hilton, where he worked closely with Discover Saratoga and the City Center to drive convention and meetings to that destination. Throughout his 13 years at the Hilton, Leggieri successfully maintained citywide contracts and clients, partnered with area organizations and continued to average 32,000-34,000 group room nights per year.

In 2006, Leggieri served at the helm of the sales and marketing team for the facility’s transition and $12 million renovation from Prime Hotel and Conference Center to the Saratoga, a Luxury Resorts and Hotels property owned by the Blackstone Group.

Leggieri also has over four years of experience in the Albany market, as a director of sales for the Desmond Hotel and Conference Center.

While seeking a new president, Discover Saratoga’s Board of Directors formed a search committee. The executive committee unanimously approved Leggieri’s candidacy.
