Aimbridge Hospitality has announced several leadership changes as part of the company's restructuring.
Craig Smith, CEO, Aimbridge Hospitality
CEO Craig Smith announced that the company will reportedly realign senior roles as a result of owner and partner feedback. Smith will now have direct oversight of operations and as a result Mark Tamis, global president, will be leaving Aimbridge, effective May 17.
Eric Jacobs, chief global growth officer, Aimbridge Hospitality
Marriott executive Eric Jacobs, currently chief development officer for U.S. midscale brands and Canada at Marriott International, is named as the new chief global growth officer, effective June 2. Allison Reid who held the role of chief global growth officer is leaving the company. Aimbridge has collapsed the chief global growth office and chief development role into one position and as a result, chief development officer Tiffany Cooper has also departed the company.
"With more owners and brands turning to third-party hotel operators to expertly manage their assets, now is an exciting time to join Aimbridge," said Jacobs. "The company's deep expertise across all property types and its enhanced focus on operational excellence, guest experience, and associate engagement is unmatched, and when paired with its comprehensive services and industry-leading data capabilities, gives partners a clear competitive advantage. I'm looking forward to joining the Aimbridge leadership team and bringing forward innovative solutions that will drive rapid, sustainable growth for Aimbridge and its owners."
