Olivia Rickaby
Executive Recruiter
Division: Hospitality
Location: Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Wyoming
Former F&B Director and hospitality leader, bringing over 15 years of experience in full-service hotels like Hilton, Marriott, and Crowne Plaza. I now specialize in Executive Recruiting for the Hotel and Restaurant industry, bringing real-world insight and passion to every placement.
Based in Wisconsin, born and raised in Detroit. I bring a “Midwestern Gail with a whoo!” energy to every search! I love connecting people, solving problems, and being a true partner in the hiring process. I deeply understand what makes hospitality teams thrive.
From front desk to executive office, I’ve worked alongside and led top talent across every hotel department and gained a deep understanding of hotel operations at every level. I know what it takes to succeed in executive roles because I’ve lived the experience firsthand. Joining Gecko hospitality has allowed me to channel my passion into helping others grow their careers and build exceptional teams!
When I’m off the clock, you’ll find me camping, kayaking, cooking up something new, or traveling with loved ones. Whether you’re looking to hire, grow, or just talk hospitality, let’s connect!
