J.W. Marriott Jr. moving to executive chairman
Marriott International Inc. will see a changing of the guard next year, with longtime board chairman and ceo J.W. "Bill" Marriott Jr. moving to executive chairman and Arne Sorenson moving into the ceo’s slot. In addition, Robert McCarthy, currently group president for the company, will become Marriott’s chief operations officer. All three appointments are effective March 31, 2012.
Sorenson, currently the hotelier’s president and chief operating officer, will be the third ceo in the history of the company.
In making the announcement, Marriott said, “As we approach the 85th birthday of our company in 2012 and I proudly celebrate my 60th year of service, I decided to recommend to the board that Arne Sorenson take over the ceo responsibilities. I have been so fortunate to have worked with some of the most talented people in the world over the past six decades. It’s amazing to me what we have accomplished over the years together, from a small root beer stand in Washington, D.C. to a global lodging powerhouse with operations in more than 70 countries.”
