Iain Ainsworth (49) founded the London based creative network of White Line Hotels back in mid 2009 and is today a stylish community of some 50+ select independent hotels, boltholes & chalets. Prior to setting up his company, Iain spent four years heading up marketing, sales & communications at Design Hotels as senior VP, which nicely contrasted to his previous roles as regional marketing director at the French Taittinger group - Concorde Hotels & Resorts and whilst in Berlin, where he lived for 10 years, in operations, sales & marketing positions at Kempinski Hotel & Resorts.

Naturally innovative, Iain fosters a free-thinker approach to creative hotel marketing & builds communities of like-minded hoteliers. Iain is an enthusiastic entrepreneur with some 20 years hotel marketing & brand experience, a keen lover of local hero concept hotels that are crafted, ooze personality, have soul and were simply cast just for their neighbourhood.

Somewhat nostalgic at times, a romantic maverick at heart and is rather fond of a bloody good G&T.
