ST. LOUIS: Explore St. Louis has expanded its sales staff with two new hires, Claudia Hill and Nathan Fillion, both of whom are directors of national accounts. Hill and Fillion are both highly motivated, experienced and award-winning sales professionals who have demonstrated their ability to routinely meet and exceed sales quotas in competitive markets. 

A veteran in the hospitality sales industry, Claudia Hill received her Bachelor of Science in advertising from the University of Texas at Austin in 1994. With over 25 years in sales and having received numerous performance and leadership awards, Explore St. Louis tapped Hill for the skillset and hospitality experience she brings to the team.

Nathan Fillion received his Bachelor of Science in marketing from San Diego State University in 2001. With over 15 years of sales experience, Fillion has been a steadfast leader in numerous sales and marketing teams throughout the industry and was given the Gold Key Award by the San Diego Tourism Authority as well as the President’s Club Award from Noble House Hotels & Resorts.

Chief sales officer David Duncan is “thrilled to bring these professionals onboard with the Explore St. Louis team. We look forward to working with Hill and Fillion to bring meetings and conventions to St. Louis. With the debut of AC NextGen on the horizon, it’s perfect timing to promote the America’s Center. 2025 is already set to be one of the best years in a decade, and with Hill and Fillion on board, we look forward to continuing that success in 2026 and beyond.”
