Hospitality operator The Social Hub has appointed Megan Kennedy as the company’s new chief operating officer (COO).
Kennedy, who has more than 20 years’ international experience across hospitality and lifestyle businesses, joins The Social Hub from London-based members’ club and global impact community The Conduit, where she served as global chief operating officer.
Kennedy said: “This is an amazing time to join The Social Hub as we prepare to launch our membership proposition across Europe later this autumn. The Social Hub has built something genuinely distinctive, combining hospitality with community in a way very few businesses have achieved. I’m excited to join at such an important point in its journey as we get ready to roll out membership – we’re going to blow minds with this.
“My first priority will be to spend time with our teams, understand what already makes The Social Hub special and help strengthen the operational foundations that allow the business to continue growing without losing the character and experience people value so highly. Ultimately, operational excellence is about creating consistency for guests and members while giving teams the confidence and freedom to deliver exceptional experiences every day.”
Eyal Amzallag, chief operating and commercial officer at The Social Hub, added: “Megan is a rare leader who understands that great hospitality is built on great people and operational excellence, in equal measure. As we scale across Europe, her experience is exactly what we need to grow without losing what makes The Social Hub unique.
“She builds high performing teams, grows complex operations, and strengthens culture as a business grows. We’re creating a movement, places where people belong, connect, and thrive, and Megan will play a role making sure it expands without losing its soul.”
