“My favorite part of Women’s Network is connecting and meeting new people.”

This month we are shining the spotlight on Nadia Ryakhmyatullov, general manager at The Tiger Hotel. Nadia was born in Russia, grew up in Sedalia, Mo. and has been in Columbia for about 7 years! When asked about why she decided to go into hotel management she said, “…honestly, I didn’t choose it, it chose me!” Well, that worked out well, didn’t it!

Nadia has twin daughters who are six and they love to travel. She also loves quality family time with 11 SIBLINGS. Let that sink in for a minute. Let’s hope they had at least 2 bathrooms…

A few fun facts about Nadia:

She speaks fluent Russian.
