US: Extended Stay America has appointed Greg Juceam as president and CEO.
Juceam, who brings more than 26 years of hospitality industry leadership experience to the position, succeeds Bruce Haase, who has stepped down to pursue other opportunities.
Juceam steps up from serving as ESA Management’s EVP and COO. His appointment follows the 2021 sale of the company to a JV between Blackstone and Starwood Capital.
Prior to joining ESA in November 2021, he president and COO for G6 Hospitality LLC, which owns, operates, or franchises 1,400 economy lodging locations under the Motel 6 and Studio 6 brands. He previously served as CEO of BRE Hotels and Resorts, and has also held senior leadership positions at Interstate Hotels & Resorts, InterContinental Hotels Group and Bristol Hotels & Resorts.
“I am excited to lead Extended Stay America through its next chapter of growth and long-term success,” said Juceam. “For more than 25 years, ESA has pioneered the extended stay lodging segment and is widely recognised for its premier guest experience, superior service and high-quality hotels. I thank Bruce for his skilled leadership, especially in guiding us safely and successfully through the pandemic, and wish him the best in his future endeavours. Together with our team members, franchisees and general managers, I am confident that ESA is well-positioned for continued growth.”
