A Seat at the Table Connecting the World of Hospitality

In this episode of A Seat at the Table, we sit down with four global voices to explore how NEWH connects people, careers, and companies across borders. Joining him are Chris Tucker, CEO of NEWH, Inc.; Jonathan Young, principal of Jonathan Young Associates and NEWH VP of International Relations for the EU & UK; Boris Gentine, designer and partner at Saguez & Dash; and Pam Neimann, founder of Neimann Design.

Together, they unpack how a volunteer-driven network becomes a powerful global engine for opportunity. Boris shares his recent move from Paris to New York and how NEWH turned an intimidating relocation into a soft landing—introducing him to chapters, clients, and friends who helped him quickly find his place in a new market. Pam reflects on taking her entire studio to NEWH Leadership Conferences in Nashville and Paris, and how those experiences deepened her team’s cohesion, exposure to international design thinking, and long-term commitment to the organization.

Jonathan offers a vendor’s perspective on NEWH as an “international matchmaker,” helping manufacturers and designers navigate cultural nuances and expand into new regions—from American brands entering Europe to European firms tackling projects in the US and Middle East. Chris rounds out the conversation with real stories of NEWH scholarship winners whose careers have crossed continents, demonstrating how education, mentorship, and internships are evolving as NEWH grows globally.

Listeners will come away with a deeper understanding of how NEWH’s international chapters, events, and scholarship programs create a truly borderless community—one where students, designers, and manufacturers can belong, be supported, and build meaningful careers anywhere in the world.
