Aimbridge Hospitality reinstates Greg Moundas as chief legal officer 

Aimbridge Hospitality has announced Greg Moundas has returned as chief legal officer, reassuming the role after a short stint away from the group. 

As chief legal officer, Moundas will play a key role on the executive team, reporting directly to Aimbridge CEO Craig S. Smith, and will oversee legal, risk management, compliance, licensing, and contracts. 

In addition to proven experience in these areas, he also brings a “profound understanding” of Aimbridge’s business model, its owners, and the industry at large, given he spent more than a decade at Aimbridge into the company , including overseeing the integration of Interstate.

Moundas first joined Aimbridge in 2011, holding legal positions of escalating responsibility and serving as general counsel/chief legal officer for more than a decade prior to his departure for a chief growth officer and partner role with Mayfair Management Group. 

In addition to providing strategic legal insights to Aimbridge, Moundas also oversaw a “substantial” number of transactions, including the negotiation, structure, completion, and integration of multiple merger and acquisition deals valued at more than $1bn (£809m). 

Smith said: “As we further optimise our business and create a performance-led culture, I’m excited to welcome Greg Moundas back to Aimbridge and look forward to working side-by-side as we transform our approach and accelerate actions that put the property team at the centre of our strategy.

“Greg’s extensive understanding of our business and the industry, along with the fresh perspective he brings today, will be invaluable as we work to deepen trust and consistently deliver for our owners, brand partners, and associates.”  

Moundas is the most recent executive-level hire this spring following the internal promotion of Keryn McNamara, who assumed the role of chief information officer earlier this month.
