Lauri Dixon
Company Vice President & General Manager
Lauri began her career in hospitality at the age of 16 in Houston, Texas, quickly discovering a passion for the industry while mastering both front-of-house and back-of-house operations. She advanced into the hotel sector, holding positions with The Westin Hotels in Houston and later the Sheraton Inner Harbor in Baltimore, gaining extensive experience in food and beverage operations and event coordination. At Harrison’s Pier 5, she played a key role in launching the property, managing interior design, staff training, and multiple outlets. Lauri went on to serve as Director of Catering at Harbor View Marina & Yacht Club, transforming a new venue into one of the most sought-after event spaces in Baltimore.
