Lionshead Capital Partners

Jonathon has spent his career developing, owning, and managing hotels — directly involved in 10+ ground-up developments and the asset management of 30+ additional properties across all brands and chain scales. He has an unrivaled ability to determine a hotel's true income potential, stemming from extensive hands-on experience and a gift for distilling challenges into opportunities. In his earlier operational role with Marriott International, he learned the discipline of managing labor to maximize productivity while balancing the satisfaction of employees and guests.

As Executive Vice President with RD Olson Development, Jonathon oversaw the pre-development and post-opening operations and asset management of a portfolio of hotels worth in excess of $1 billion. Time and again, the hotels outperformed their respective pro formas thanks to his careful attention to detail and deft ability to drive operating margins.

Over the years, he has built close, personal relationships throughout the Marriott organization — including the franchise and development groups and the Managed by Marriott team — and serves on Marriott's Owner Advisory Council.

Jonathon is the founder and sole owner of White Label Asset Management, which has consulted on a $3.91 billion portfolio of 53 hotels spanning 27 brands across 20 states. The firm serves as asset manager for the Lionshead portfolio and helps source new acquisition opportunities.

Across more than 20 years at Hodges Ward Elliott — the preeminent hotel transaction advisor — Todd built relationships with the most successful and important owners in the industry. He has raised capital for ground-up developments and advised on the disposition of billions of dollars in hotel assets, across virtually every brand, chain scale, and geographic region in the country.

Few investors have Todd's transactional insight into what drives value in a hotel transaction and how best to approach an acquisition or disposition to maximize value. Operating income generates distributions in real time, but optimizing the terms of the purchase and sale has an equally important role in maximizing investor returns. For two decades, Todd has helped both publicly listed companies and private equity investors sell their hotel investments at top-of-the-market pricing.

He began his career as a principal in a commercial real estate information aggregator that ultimately sold to CoStar — an experience that established his discipline around information and how to distill and apply it. He also played a key role in advancing syndicated real estate to retail investors, completing nearly half a billion dollars in Tenancy-In-Common hotel transactions.
