Amidst these challenging times, organizations can rise and fall based on one thing—their leader. As the old saying goes, “everything rises and falls on leadership.” Companies like Prince Organization understand this more than anything, and it continues to rise through hardships with Sunny Tolani at the helm. Like his favorite NBA Player, the late Kobe Bryant, his life story is about pure hard work, humble beginnings, dedication, and success. 

Sunny is not one to give up easily. He believes that a person brings dignity to the work they put out, and by doing so with competence and an upbeat attitude, they earn self-respect without even realizing it. 

To most, Sunny Tolani is the CEO and founder of Prince Organization, an Orange County-based luxury hospitality company that has thrived amidst the hardships of a worldwide pandemic, global market collapse, and record-breaking inflation rates. But for the entrepreneur, his core has been finding ways to lead his people through tumultuous seasons. His secret weapon, he shares, is the culture of Prince Organization, marked primarily by its focus on its employees.

“This is the key factor to our image and empowering culture,” shares Sunny. “That’s why we invest in our people, building trustworthiness with competence, candor, concern, connection, and consistency.” Sunny’s business journey has been nothing short of inspiring. He started as an immigrant who moved to the United States for a better life. Learning the importance of hard work, he provided for his everyday needs and sought opportunities to serve others in the best way possible. 

That foundation helped him start Prince Organization, which now owns multiple hotels and real estate. Yet, despite achieving greatness, the entrepreneur remains humble in all his success, seeking avenues to create experiences that give customers plus-level service every time. Sunil and Prince Organization continue to lead the way for the hospitality market in the West Coast area. 

“In the end, we all have dreams, but to make dreams come into reality, it takes an awful lot of determination, dedication, self-discipline, and effort,” adds Sunny. “I believe my beliefs and doubt my doubts—I will not let anybody down.”
