In close consultation with its hotel owners and operators, Hyatt is dedicating focused resources to support this key stakeholder group in an effort to expand the franchise portfolio and increase property performance by further elevating Hyatt\u2019s guest and customer personalization strategy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAt Hyatt, we feel strongly that the best way to operate is with a diverse portfolio of owned, managed and franchised properties,\u201d said Jim Chu. \u201cAs a fellow owner, we have a critical understanding for what our owners and operators are experiencing \u2013 in both the good times and the challenging times \u2013 which enables us to collaborate with a heightened sense of empathy and focus.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hyatt\u2019s new dedicated Franchise Operations team will be focusing on driving superior financial performance and will be led by Paul Daly in his new role as SVP Franchise Operations, reporting to Jim Chu.

\u201cHyatt is experiencing tremendous growth illustrated by our industry-leading net rooms growth and the recent milestone of our 500th Hyatt House\/Hyatt Place property in operation,\u201d said Paul Daly. \u201cWe are growing at a fast rate and we see a tremendous opportunity at this moment in time to create a dedicated team laser-focused on cultivating closer relationships and providing franchise owners and operators with support and enhanced tools designed to maximize performance.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
