Chief Operating Officer MEA, a region where the company currently
manages 50 properties, with 20 more under development.
“Marc has become an invaluable member of the
management team and his international experience is proving a real
asset in enhancing the ongoing success of our MEA operations,”
said Olivier Chavy, President & CEO, Mövenpick Hotels &
Resorts. “As we say a fond farewell to Andreas, I hand
the baton to Marc, confident in his abilities to build on the
remarkable momentum we have achieved in the region and to maximise
the many opportunities we have identified to grow our footprint
and brand presence.”
Marc joined Mövenpick Hotels &
Resorts from Carlson Rezidor where he was Area Vice President for
the firm’s Africa & Indian Ocean operations. He has significant
experience working in the Middle East, having also been employed
as Regional Director, UAE, Egypt, Jordan and Oman for the hotel

(Cornell-Essec) in Paris.
“It is a privilege to be promoted
to President Middle East & Africa – a role I will relish as
Mövenpick continues to cement its reputation as a hotel company
that delivers a unique style of hospitality to world-class
standards in a growing number of key destinations across the
region,” said Marc. “As a custodian of the brand and its
core values, I look forward to championing the essence of what
Mövenpick stands for - from culinary innovation and high-quality
service to our unwavering commitment to sustainability -while
consistently delivering our we make moments business philosophy to
guests.”
