Early Career
Adam Mogelonsky attended Queen’s University in Kingston, Ontario, Canada, earning a Bachelors of Science degree with a Life Sciences (Pre-Medicine) subject of specialization.
On a path to become a doctor, he instead opted to pursue personal training while studying to be a nutritionist and physiotherapist. Following the 2008-09 recession, Adam joined Larry in the advertising world.
LMA Communications Inc.
In line with his passion for creative writing, Adam joined this hospitality-specializing marketing and communications agency as a copywriter and account executive. Over the years, he learned marketing skills including emotional messaging, front-end web design, public relations, art direction, social media, content generation, SEM/SEM and, above all, strategy.
Working at LMA for nearly a decade and rising to direct a myriad of accounts, this exposure to the hotel business as well as many companies in other industries has given Adam a unique perspective to provide outside-the-box solutions for hospitality organizations and technology providers. Adam is a firm believer is ‘measuring twice, drilling once’ in terms of looking holistically at problems to derive the core, and often most cost-effective, solution.
Hotel Mogel
With Larry selling LMA Communications Inc. in 2016, Adam soon also departed to join his father in managing the consultancy’s operations, including financial analysis for hotels, team training and software or hardware deployment. As the chief technologist of the company, Adam has a broad understanding of the complexities of the hotel tech stack as well as the vendors who are paving the way for increased labor efficiencies and new revenue growth opportunities. With an eye for what’s possible in the future, Adam is at heart a pragmatist, evaluating solutions on their ability to address immediate needs while also providing a roadmap for continuous improvement.
Outside of his strategic planning role for hotel brands and owners, Adam represents one half of the company’s thought leadership arm, frequently writing articles under the dual byline (Larry and Adam Mogelonsky) for numerous hotel trade publications on a variety of topics. For speaking engagements, webinars, podcasts and panel discussions, he’s keenly focused on two main trends that will come to have a profound impact on hospitality:
- Wellness — touchless therapies, wellness room categories, sleep tourism, mindfulness programs, retreats
- Longevity — advanced diagnostics, preventative medicine, precision F&B, personalized fitness, elderpreneurship
