( ABOUT BILLIE )
Strategic Operations & Outdoor Hospitality
My name is Billie McNamara. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Data Analytics, and a Bachelor’s degree in Marketing. My career prior to joining the outdoor hospitality industry was in the privatized military property management field where I managed 1,600 homes in North Dakota and 3,300 homes in Alaska.
That background in reporting, data management, policies and procedures, and budget management has been important in my move to the camping industry.
My goal is to work with you for specific strategies that help your business. There is no one size fits all in this industry, and I am ready to work with you to make your life easier, and increase your revenue.
Professional Journey
Management Experience
Directed large-scale Facilities Management for over 1,600 homes in North Dakota, and Distribution and Data Analytical Management for over 3,300 homes in Alaska. Established rigorous standards in reporting, data management, and complex budget oversight that now define my strategic approach to outdoor hospitality.
Academic Foundations
An analytical baseline supported by a Bachelor’s degree in Data Analytics and a Bachelor’s degree in Marketing. Also a Graduate of the George O’Leary National School of Outdoor Hospitality. Have been a speaker at camping conferences such as the Northeast Camping Association, Maine Campground Owners Association, and the Campground Owners Expo. Participated in podcast episodes from Woodall's Campground Magazine, RVing in New England, and more.
