“I am the co-owner of Costello-Childs Contemporary, a contemporary fine art gallery located in Scottsdale, Arizona. In the summer of 2008 my business partner, Michael Costello, and I were approached with an offer, which we accepted, to open a second business location within the new InterContinental Hotel’s Montelucia Resort in Paradise Valley, Arizona. At that time we were introduced to our new resort liaison, Courtney Smith, who would be assisting us with everything required to open the new business within the resort context. We were privileged to work closely with Courtney over the ensuing months – during which time she provided invaluable support in not only assisting in our opening the new gallery but in providing on-going support once we were open for business. In all respects and at every interaction we found Courtney to be personable, engaging, creative and, of course, professional in her conduct and manner”
Daryl Childs, Owner, Costello-Childs Contemporary

“In March 2008 I joined  the pre-opening team at the InterContinental Montelucia  to assist with the creation of the 31,000 sq. ft. Joya Spa.  Courtney Smith became an instant inspiration with her high energy and creativity .We worked many long hours together hammering out the concepts behind one of Arizona’s largest spas. It wasn’t long before she was called upon to utilize her amazing networking skills as the resort’s Field Marketing Director. The programs she developed proved to be an integral part of a successful launch at the end of 2008, a time when many luxury properties experienced hardship due to the difficult economy. From the creation of the music programming resort-wide to participating in the creation of many high-profile media events, Courtney’s professionalism and dedication made her a standout. These traits were only enhanced by her ability to maintain a positive demeanor during the most challenging circumstances.  I only hope we get the opportunity to work together in the future”
Kirk Gregor, Spa Director, Village Health Clubs and Spas

“Courtney Smith has continually excelled above and beyond the expectations of her position as Field Marketing Manager. She has not only successfully developed and implemented an extensive program of events for the resort, spa, and food & beverage venues, but she has initiated invaluable partnerships, established a comprehensive music program, and aided in evolving the resort database and email marketing initiatives. Courtney is an asset, proven through her hard-working goal-oriented work ethic, and dedication to the team”
