Underscoring a commitment to expanding its all-inclusive footprint, Hyatt Hotels Corporation has announced key leadership appointments.
Following an intensive transition period under Javier Águila, Marc Jacheet takes on the role of Group President, Europe, Africa & Middle East (EAME). Águila now moves to President, Inclusive Collection, focusing exclusively on Hyatt’s all-inclusive portfolio on a global basis, including development, brand leadership, and operations.
The move signals Hyatt's confidence in the long-term potential of the global all-inclusive segment, following its recent acquisitions of Playa Hotels & Resorts and a stake in the Bahia Principe portfolio, as well as its 2021 acquisition of Apple Leisure Group.
In addition, longtime Hyatt executive Jim Chu has stepped into a newly created role as Head of Owner Relations, providing focused leadership for the company’s growing owner community.
“These leadership changes reflect Hyatt’s commitment to evolving our structure and aligning top talent with our most significant opportunities,” said Hyatt President and CEO Mark Hoplamazian. “With this team in place, I’m confident we’ll continue to execute our intentional growth strategy and achieve our long-term ambitions.”
Hyatt has delivered industry-leading net rooms growth for eight consecutive years through the end of 2024. As of Q1 2025, the company has pipeline of about 138,000 rooms, a 97% increase since the end of 2017.
