US: Aimbridge Hospitality, a leading global hospitality company, has announced the creation of six operational divisions in new structure.
The idea behind the new structure is so Aimbridge owners will have a more focused experience while working with the global team.
Michael Deitemeyer, president and CEO said: “Our new divisions are built upon the foundation of the operating verticals we launched several years ago, now enhanced by our recent investment in operations leadership. Mark Tamis, president of global operations, has oversight for the operating divisions allowing each team to sharpen their vertical expertise and add value for our owners.”
The six operating divisions showcase the advantages of working with Aimbridge at scale, benefiting owners through reinforced and strengthened services. The structure also encourages talent and training and recruitment, best-in-class supplier agreements, and partnerships with industry brands.
The vertical expertise-driven operating divisions are:
- Full Service, hotel and resort expertise at scale
- Evolution Lifestyle, differentiated through curated experiences
- Enhanced Select Service, focused service for lasting success
- Select Service, efficiencies that drive results for short and extended stays
Additionally, two geographically focused divisions will bolster international growth:
- EMEA, expanding beyond the UK and Europe
- LatAm, building from a strong foundation in Mexico
Mark Tamis, who was appointed president of global operations in May this year added: “The new structure of our six operating divisions builds on Aimbridge’s operating acumen with a focus on specific industry verticals where we have proven expertise and results. Each division, serving as distinct business units, will be led by a highly skilled and experienced divisional president who will drive efficiency for decisions, nimbleness to proactively support the properties, and bolster dedicated teams to optimise results.”
Because of the structure, six divisional presidents have been appointed.
- Rob Smith, Full Service Division
- Will Loughran, Evolution Lifestyle Division
- Ben Perelmuter, Enhanced Select Service Division
- Simon Mendy, Select Service Division
- David Anderson, EMEA Division
- Leandro Castillo, LatAm Division
