Marriott International unveiled a slate of management changes, including the retirement of Liam Brown, group president, US and Canada, and Brian King, president, enterprise transformation & Caribbean and Latin America (CALA).
The two executives will “step down from their roles at the end of March and retire from the company at the end of June 2026 after decades of extraordinary service,” Marriott said.
On March 28, 2026, Satya Anand, president of the company’s Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) region, will assume the role of group president, US, Canada and CALA.
Neal Jones, chief operating officer for Europe and Africa and global leader for Design Hotels, will become president, EMEA, while Federico “Fede” Greppi, CALA chief operating officer, will assume the role of president of the region.
“Jones will join Anand in serving on Marriott’s executive leadership team, and both will report to Anthony Capuano, president and chief executive officer, Marriott International,” Marriott said.
“Today’s appointments position Marriott for our next chapter of growth,” Capuano said. “Satya brings a powerful combination of operational depth, financial discipline, and design expertise to a unified regional structure, which will sharpen how we execute and elevate outcomes for our associates, guests and owners.”
“Neal has been a driving force behind EMEA’s commercial performance and brand development, and I know he will build on that momentum with a laser focus on innovation and owner relationships,” he added.
Capuano noted that “Fede’s deep market, financial and operating expertise in CALA will position the region well as we focus on further accelerating our growth in the southern hemisphere.”
“I’m confident these leaders will advance our strategy and continue to nurture the culture that sets Marriott apart,” he concluded.
