Bob Megargle

Vice President of Sales

Bob joins SIB following a successful career spanning 22 years driving top-performing sales results, brand development, and mixed-use asset conversions for some of the country’s most notable hotel developments. Most recently, Bob served as the Area Managing Director of Beemok Hospitality Collection in Charleston, SC. There, he led the transformation of The Charleston Place Hotel with responsibility for developing, positioning, and growing revenue for a premier luxury hospitality, lifestyle brand.

In his role as Vice President of Sales, Bob will develop and lead the sales organization with responsibility for employee development, implementing best practices, and delivering increased growth. He provides subject matter expertise in the hospitality sector and participates in conferences, panel discussions, and regularly contributes to SIB’s hospitality-related thought leadership agenda.

Prior to his role at Beemok, Bob oversaw the growth and success of multiple asset conversions for Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts and Starwood Hotels and Resorts in San Francisco, Maui, Manhattan, and Detroit. During his tenure with Four Seasons, he was recognized as the first hotel professional to garner the San Francisco Business Times “40 under 40” award for his leadership in growing the Four Seasons brand footprint within the city of San Francisco. An entrepreneur at heart, his first business development happened in his hometown of Detroit, Michigan where he opened his first bar and restaurant of his own after raising $2 million in private capital in his early 20s. Its success contributed to the city’s restaurant revival.

Bob lives in Charleston with his wife, Deidre and their German Shephard, Jack.
