Poehlman has held corporate controller posts at two locally based companies, most recently at Starr Restaurant Organization, which, during his tenure grew from six to 16 restaurants. Prior to his post at Starr, he held the same position with GF Management, the management arm of Lubert Adler Funds, where he oversaw implementation of a new accounting system for more than 40 hotels.
He is also a former controller at HEI Hotels, which was acquired by Starwood during his tenure, and held posts as a regional and property-level controller for the Marriott, Hilton, Sheraton and Sofitel brands. At Hersha, he will head the finance and accounting group that provides property-level and consolidated accounting, payables management and internal audit.
As this Hersha unit "continues to grow its third-party management business," says Naveen Kakarla, VP of administration, in a statement, "we decided to invest in an industry veteran with deep experience in finance and accounting."
