Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts has appointed Alejandro Reynal to serve as the company’s new president and CEO. Reynal succeeds John Davison, a veteran of Four Seasons for 20 years, who will remain with the organization as a member of the board following his retirement.
“John Davison has been a tremendous leader and colleague for more than 20 years, and I am deeply grateful to him and our executive leadership team for their unwavering leadership through some of the hospitality industry’s most challenging times,” says Four Seasons founder and chairman Isadore Sharp. “Alejandro joins Four Seasons as we mark the start of a new chapter, building upon our legacy of success and a culture that we have collectively championed over more than 60 years. He is a proven leader and executive, and even more importantly, a person of integrity with a deep commitment to excellence and a keen understanding of Four Seasons values and genuine heart.”
Reynal brings forth more than two decades of experience in the global travel and hospitality industry. Most recently, he served as president and CEO of Apple Leisure Group. He was also the CEO of Atento from 2011 through 2019, and held strategic management positions at Telefonica and the Coca-Cola Company earlier in his career.
“It is an honor to join Four Seasons, a company I have always admired for its unwavering focus on its values and for the boldness of its innovative spirit,” Reynal adds. “I look forward to working with the board, executive leadership team, and the more than 50,000 employees worldwide whose dedication to excellence and personalized service sits at the heart of Four Seasons. There are numerous strategic opportunities ahead, and we are well positioned to steer a new course in the luxury space that will further enhance the value and power of our brand.”
