Four Seasons has appointed Alejandro Reynal as
President and Chief Executive Officer.
Alejandro succeeds John Davison, a 20-year
veteran of Four Seasons who announced his intention to retire
late last year and remains a member of the company’s board.
Alejandro Reynal
With more than two decades of executive leadership
experience in the global travel and hospitality, business
services, and telecommunications industries, Alejandro, 49, most
recently served as President and CEO of Apple Leisure Group, a
luxury resort management and leisure travel group, owned
by Hyatt.
From 2011 to 2019, Alejandro was CEO
of Atento, a global customer relationship management and business
process outsourcing services company.
Earlier in his career, Alejandro held management positions at Telefonica and The
Coca-Cola Company.
“John Davison has been a tremendous leader and colleague for
more than 20 years, and I am deeply grateful to him and our
executive leadership team for their unwavering leadership through
some of the hospitality industry’s most challenging times,” said Isadore
Sharp, Four Seasons Founder and Chairman.
“Alejandro joins Four Seasons as we mark the start of a new
chapter, building upon our legacy of success and a culture that we
have collectively championed over more than 60 years. He is a
proven leader and executive, and even more importantly, a person
of integrity with a deep commitment to excellence and a keen
understanding of Four Seasons values and genuine heart.”
Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts’ majority owner
with a 71.25 percent stake is Cascade Investment, which
holds personal assets of Bill Gates as well as the Bill & Melinda
Gates Foundation Trust.
An affiliate of Kingdom Holding Company,
whose Chairman is His Royal Highness Prince Alwaleed Bin Talal Bin
Abdulaziz Al Saud, owns 23.75 percent, and Triples Holdings
Limited, a company owned by Four Seasons founder and Chairman
Isadore Sharp, owns five percent.
“Alejandro is a highly-respected and experienced
CEO who will guide Four Seasons through the next phase of its
evolution as one of the world’s foremost luxury brands,” said
Michael Larson, Chief Investment Officer of Cascade Investment.
“Throughout his career, Alejandro has led and inspired global
teams to embrace innovation, leverage the power of data and
insights, and deliver top financial performance and value to both
investors and customers. We feel deep gratitude toward John and
all that he has done to make Four Seasons even more successful and
look forward to his contributions as a Board member as Alejandro
builds on our shared vision toward achieving long-term strategic
growth.”
