House of Kooser Team
Greg Kooser
CEO & Founder
North American Sales
The eponymous founder of House of Kooser is an innovator in hospitality marketing. In an era of downsizing and consolidation, Greg has created a proven formula for success: grassroots sales and marketing.

Avak MelikHacopians
WEST COAST SALES
Our Los Angeles native, Avak is a magna cum laude graduate from University of Southern California Marshall School of Business. Since graduation, he has been serving as the Lead Financial Analyst and Business Development Manager for Dave Hotels. He was involved in the project from A to Z, from the initial valuation of multiple 4-star hotels, sales negotiations, and ultimately the brand’s business development as well as the hotel’s operational analysis—taking an empty building with rooms and giving it its own identity, market share, and voice. At House of Kooser, we classify ourselves as “hotel sales and marketing rebels.” Avak identified with this word choice, as he was also a “rebel” by bringing technical financial and data analysis skills— originally indented for investment banking—to the hospitality industry. In his free time, he enjoys playing chess, traveling, and is passionate about cars and fitness.
