A native of the northeast who started in the hospitality industry at his family-owned resort, Bruce brings several decades of experience to the Woodstock Inn & Resort from diverse roles at world-class hotels and destination resorts across the country. He most recently served as vice president and general manager for the Yarrow Group, where he oversaw the daily operations of five hotels in Jackson, Wyoming, and Fort Collins, Colorado.

“We are thrilled to welcome Bruce to the Woodstock Inn & Resort,” says James S. Sligar, chair of the Woodstock Foundation Board of Trustees. “His vision, dedication, and experience make him the ideal leader to help chart the organization’s future.”

Bruce says that the Woodstock Inn & Resort, founded more than four decades ago and shaped by the vision of Mary and Laurance S. Rockefeller, is a premier gateway to Vermont’s rural and agrarian heritage.

“It is a truly classic resort that has welcomed visitors from across the globe, setting the tone for hospitality and land stewardship in the region,” he says. “It’s an honor to be given the opportunity to extend the resort’s legacy and help guide this iconic property into its next chapter. Throughout my career, I’ve made it a priority to cultivate a close relationship with the community, employees, and guests, and I look forward to dedicating myself to everything that makes Woodstock such an extraordinary destination.”
