Headshot of JoAnn Wrenn.

Though she entered the industry by chance, JoAnn has built a career here by choice. With more than two decades of leadership experience in luxury and lifestyle hotels, she is passionate about people and a champion of authentic hospitality, and has dedicated her career to creating exceptional experiences both in the front and back of house.

JoAnn has been with Sage for more than 14 years, playing a pivotal role in shaping some of our most celebrated properties. After holding sales roles with The Ritz-Carlton, she joined Sage as Director of Sales & Marketing at The Curtis, later becoming its General Manager. She then led the JW Marriott Denver Cherry Creek—now Hotel Clio, Luxury Collection—before moving to Philadelphia to take the helm at The Logan, part of Hilton’s Curio Collection.

In 2021, JoAnn took on an Area Managing Director role, supporting a portfolio of full-service luxury and lifestyle hotels on the East Coast, in addition to her leadership at The Logan. She joined the Sage Home Office in her current role in 2024.

Known for her hands-on leadership style, JoAnn fosters a culture where both guests and associates feel valued. In 2020, she was honored with the Eagle Award at the Sage Leadership Festival—our highest recognition for a hotel or restaurant General Manager—celebrating her outstanding leadership and unwavering commitment to our purpose: enriching lives, one experience at a time.
