Vladimir Suárez

Vladimir Suarez is a serial entrepreneur who is driven towards starting and growing innovative businesses to their full potential. As the CEO and Founder of Corporate Stays, Casa Suarez, Saboga Lodge, and Embera Collection, Vladimir delights in launching businesses that all interconnect with each other. Suarez’s creative ideas always come to mind when he least expects them and are mostly driven by his love for travel.

As a highly motivated entrepreneur in the hospitality industry, Suarez dives to achieve results. His entrepreneurial mindset kicked off when he rented out furnished apartments in Montreal while he was traveling abroad. The business grew organically and prospered sooner than anticipated. He quickly seized this golden opportunity by working with corporate clientele. Corporate Stays transfigured into a more steady business after shifting its focus on B2B and the company flourished to new heights. His corporate housing company now operates in all major Canadian cities and has over 249 destinations around the world.

Simultaneously, Vladimir wanted to create a standardization for Corporate Stays’ apartments. This is when an idea for his furniture and home decor company Casa Suarez came to life. By furnishing his own apartments, he was able to provide apartments that were personally designed with comfort and style in mind.

In the course of time, Suarez used his passion for architecture and travel to create a dreamy eco-lodge in Panama. From its innovative design, artisanal furniture, and sensitive positioning on the island, Saboga Lodge is the culmination of Suarez’s eye for high-end luxury experiences and his respect for the natural world. The lodge goes hand in hand with the other businesses because it is furnished by Casa Suarez’s eco-friendly furniture and is a place for Corporate Stays’ guests to escape for a relaxing getaway. In addition, Vladimir launched Embera Collection, which is a hospitality group comprising eco-friendly luxury boutique hotels, lodges, and resorts throughout Panama and Latin America
