Aimbridge Hospitality forms six operating divisions

Aimbridge Hospitality has announced the creation of six operational divisions in a bid to improve the quality of its offering to its hotel owners.

The firm said the move will allow Aimbridge owners to “experience the advantages of working with a global leader while benefiting from the nimbleness and expertise of smaller, vertical-focused operations”.

It added the six operating divisions “further showcase the advantages of working with Aimbridge at scale”, benefiting owners through reinforced and strengthened services along with the curation of talent, training and recruitment, supplier agreements, and partnerships with industry brands.                                                       

The vertical expertise-driven operating divisions are:

• Full Service, hotel and resort expertise at scale
• Evolution Lifestyle, differentiated through curated experiences
• Enhanced Select Service, focused service for lasting success
• Select Service, efficiencies that drive results for short and extended stays                       

Additionally, two geographically focused divisions will bolster international growth:

• EMEA, expanding beyond the UK and Europe
• LatAm, building from a strong foundation in Mexico

The six divisional presidents of the newly introduced operating divisions are:

• Rob Smith, Full Service Division
• Will Loughran, Evolution Lifestyle Division
• Ben Perelmuter, Enhanced Select Service Division
• Simon Mendy, Select Service Division
• David J. Anderson, EMEA Division

Michael J. Deitemeyer, president and CEO, said: “Our new divisions are built upon the foundation of the operating verticals we launched several years ago, now enhanced by our recent investment in operations leadership. Mark Tamis, president of global operations, has oversight for the operating divisions allowing each team to sharpen their vertical expertise and add value for our owners.”
