Jennifer Lombard Knight

General Manager, Hotel Effie Sandestin – Autograph Collection

As General Manager of Hotel Effie Sandestin, Jennifer Lombard Knight is passionate about inspiring and developing leaders—both present and future. With a leadership style rooted in mentorship and growth, she fosters a team environment focused on excellence, service, and continued learning.

A proud member of the Sinfonia Gulf Coast Board, Jennifer is committed to giving back to the community she calls home. When she’s not leading her team or supporting local causes, she’s often courtside—an avid fan of both tennis and pickleball.

Jennifer’s favorite part of working at Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort is creating unforgettable moments for guests—many of whom return year after year to relive special memories.

Fun fact: Before her hospitality career took off, Jennifer skied professionally, specializing in slalom skiing—a unique chapter that still fuels her love of competition and precision today.
