Briana joined Hyatt in February 2017 as Manager of Acquisitions and Development across Europe, Africa and the Middle East (EAME). Over the last eight years, she has played a pivotal role in overseeing the growth of Hyatt's brands across Europe, introducing JdV by Hyatt to Europe and overseeing several brand entries to the Greek Islands and Malta. In her latest role as RVP Development Northern Europe, she signed Hyatt's re-entry into Hamburg with Hyatt Centric Altstadt Hamburg and the debut of the JdV by Hyatt brand to Sweden among others. In her new position as RVP for the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Briana will be responsible for leading the group's growth efforts across the country's primary destinations and upcoming developments. With projects such as Hyatt Place AlUla, Grand Hyatt The Red Sea, and Miraval The Red Sea already lined up, Briana and the team will continue to collaborate with local partners to further expand Hyatt's diverse portfolio of brands in the region. 'Briana Swift has been instrumental in Hyatt's portfolio expansion across Northern Europe, and I am thrilled to see her spearhead our development efforts and initiatives going forward in Saudi Arabia,' stated Felicity Black-Roberts, Senior Vice President of Development.
