The podcast will focus on trending topics in the hospitality sector, leveraging both Sanders’ and Nyikos’ unique insights from their extensive industry backgrounds.

“I am thrilled to have the opportunity to be on the ground floor working with the premier ground transportation solutions company in the tri-state area,” said Sanders. “Jeff Nyikos and his team at Leros are consummate professionals who have earned a sterling reputation for quality service for many years, and I am excited to be a part of a truly great company developing and managing client relationships as we launch this new initiative.”

With operations in over 770 cities worldwide and extensive experience in managing complex logistical challenges, Leros brings a unique capability to the table. The company’s expertise in seamless transportation logistics will form a perfect synergy with Robert Sanders’ vast experience in meeting and event services, allowing Leros to offer a one-stop solution for meetings, events, and logistics management.
