Her Story

About Jasmine

Jasmine Brevik serves as Hospitality Director at Absolute Procurement. She began her career there as a procurement coordinator handling behind-the-scenes support for project managers before advancing to project management, where she managed multiple hospitality projects simultaneously. She progressed to senior project manager and ultimately to director, a role in which she oversees project managers, serves as a key client contact for hotel owners, developers, and brands such as Hilton, Marriott, and IHG, and leads business development efforts including travel to conferences and client meetings. Brevik attributes her success to the guidance of her mentor, who is also her boss and who trained her in procurement starting 11 years ago, as well as her outgoing approach to networking at industry events. She was recently recognized on the Hued 100 list for her contributions to increasing diversity in the predominantly white, male-dominated hospitality industry.

Her Interview

Ten minutes with Jasmine

01What do you attribute your success to?

I attribute a lot to my mentor and my lack of shyness. The hospitality industry is very relationship-oriented. I had a mentor who is my boss at Absolute Procurement who taught me everything about procurement when I started 11 years ago. She introduced me to contacts and took me to events. My willingness to go into events not knowing anyone and come out with new friends has led to my success. You can't be shy in the hospitality industry.
