Veteran of the hospitality industry, Olivier Chavy joins Mövenpick Hotels & Resorts as the company’s new CEO. Chavy is leaving his current role as CEO of global architecture firm Wilson Associates. He joined the company three years ago, leading it through a successful transition of ownership and rebranding.
COO Cheryl Neumann and CFO Larry LeMaster will serve as interim co-CEOs of Wilson Associates during the transitional period.
“The last three years have been an amazing journey, and I am proud every day to work with such a talented and creative team,” says Chavy. “I am honored to be part of the Wilson family and am so proud of all we have accomplished together. I’m confident in the strength of the firm and in the successful continuation of the vision we created.”
“Olivier will continue to drive value for Mövenpick’s shareholders, hotel ownership partners, employees and guests alike,” says Jürgen Fischer, chairman of Mövenpick. “I am sure that Olivier will propel the company into the next chapter of growth, building on the impressive, existing development pipeline, which will allow us to grow Mövenpick’s network to more than 100 upscale, full-service hotels in the very near future.”
