HHM Hotels restructures leadership team
This story was originally published on Hotel Dive. To receive daily news and insights, subscribe to our free daily Hotel Dive newsletter. HHM Hotels restructured its leadership team through promotions and appointments across its operations and commercial divisions, the Philadelphia-based hospitality management firm announced Friday. The firm's portfolio will now be overseen by a 'stable and growing' group of executive vice presidents, and the firm has also grown its commercial team through appointments and promotions in recent months, according to the firm. The realignment is designed to accelerate the company's performance and boost scalable growth in the U.S. and Canada, HHM shared. The company currently has a portfolio of more than 235 full- and select-service hotels spanning Marriott International, Hilton, Hyatt Hotels and IHG Hotels & Resorts brands. As part of the leadership restructuring, HHM promoted Cathy O'Brien, Hiram Negron and Doug Wilkins to executive vice presidents of operations, joining Ray Perez in the role. The firm also hired Marsha Ray to join as executive vice president and head of Canadian operations. Meanwhile, the company has grown its commercial team in recent months, following Raul Moronta joining as chief revenue officer late last year, per HHM. Lindsey Johnson was also promoted to senior vice president and head of sales. The company is now unifying its revenue management, distribution, marketing and e-commerce efforts, HHM shared. 'This new structure for our operating company allows us to act faster, provide deeper support to our on-property teams, and maximize performance in every segment and market,' Dani Elhachem, the company's chief operating officer, said in a statement. HHM launched a luxury lifestyle division in 2023. The company did not immediately respond to a Hotel Dive request for further comment. Early last year, hotel management firm Aimbridge Hospitality announced a restructuring designed to streamline U.S. operations. Since then, the firm has appointed a new CFO, chief global growth officer and board of managers.

Want to Pack Like a Boss? Seven CEOs Share Their Travel Secrets
Welcome to the CEO Diet, a monthly series in Bloomberg Businessweek, where executives from around the world tell us how they manage their time in and out of the office. In recent months, we've touched on their preferred breakfast, exercise routine, drink order, and weekend activity. Now, we're talking about their best tips for packing a bag—big or, preferably, small. You'll see a predilection for functionality, from clothes to snacks, and the universal importance of a travel pillow. Before she became CEO of the famed holistic wellness brand Naturopathica, Cathy O'Brien worked at Arista records with stars like Notorious BIG and Usher, then in beauty at Estée Lauder and Jo Malone. Her diverse background informs her specific packing routine, starting with clothes: 'Veronica Beard Beverly jeans (they're form-fitting and flattering for girls with long legs); gray Adidas sneakers; a white dress; tall black Louboutin boots; a white and a black Nili Lotan button-down; a pair of black Eberjey pajamas; Bombas slippers; diamond studs.' Her supplementary essentials cover health and the random opportunity to socialize. She brings 'vitamins and my anti-estrogen pill, for the breast cancer thing (I was diagnosed in 2023 and completed radiation last May). A travel backgammon set and deck of cards—always fun for the plane or to do over drinks with a friend or colleague.'
