SAN DIEGO, May 12, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- World Amenities, Inc., a leading global manufacturer of sustainable luxury hotel and travel amenities, is proud to announce that its CEO and co-founder, Paul Hodge, has been named the 2025 CEO of the Year by the San Diego Business Journal in the Private Small Company category (under 49 employees).
This prestigious recognition honors Paul's extraordinary leadership, industry innovation, and purpose-driven impact. Under his guidance, World Amenities has achieved remarkable growth—serving over 150,000 hotel rooms nightly across 70 markets—and has earned a position on the Inc. 5000 list four consecutive years.
"Paul's vision for redefining sustainability in hospitality has positioned World Amenities as an international industry leader," said Sean Puckett, SVP at CalPrivate Bank, who nominated Hodge. "His commitment to innovation, community engagement, and environmental responsibility exemplifies outstanding leadership in today's business landscape."
A native of Australia, Paul continues to lead World Amenities into a pioneer of eco-conscious hospitality products, with over 500 signature skincare brands, biodegradable packaging, and zero-plastic solutions. In 2024, the company debuted its patent-pending DELTON dispenser and paper bottle system at the EquipHotel Paris Expo, furthering its mission to eliminate plastic waste and set a new standard for green manufacturing.
Paul reflected on the honor, "This award is a true reflection of the incredible team behind World Amenities. I am continually inspired by our passionate, purpose-driven employees who bring our mission to life daily. Their creativity, dedication, and shared commitment to sustainability fuel our growth and global impact."
Beyond business, Paul engages World Amenities in philanthropic undertakings, and its success shines through. In response to Southern California wildfires, employees launched the Help Us Help! Initiative to deliver emergency hygiene products and local community donations of supplies to displaced families. World Amenities supports Ronald McDonald House, Miracle Babies, the City of Hope, and other vital causes.
Paul is a member of the Forbes Business Council and the Entrepreneurs Organization (EO) San Diego.
