LEADERSHIPGOCO Hospitality was founded by Ingo Schweder in 2009, bringing more than 30 years of experience from the fields of spa, hotel, retreats and wellness offerings.
Ingo’s personal path to wellness started after being diagnosed with cancer at the age of only 34, when he decided to dedicate himself more to wellness and make it a crucial part of his professional life. Since then, he has been a firm believer in holistic healing, macrobiotic cuisine and yoga practices.
Ingo has been involved with the design, development and worldwide operation of iconic hotels and wellness destinations; he is also considered to be one of the foremost hotel and spa experts in the world, and his experiences and accolades to date are a fitting testament.
Helping us to achieve our goals, bring our vision to life and uphold our mission are our extraordinary team of global professionals. Throughout all aspects of our service delivery we have the best and brightest in international talent aiding us in creating world-class wellness destinations.
