The Hyatt hotel group has appointed two new SVPs to support the company's growth objects in the Europe, Africa and Middle East (EAME) region.
Peter Norman, who has led the group's development efforts in EAME since 2006, has been named senior vice president of corporate development and owner relations for EAME, while Felicity Black-Roberts, formerly VP of development for Western Europe, has been promoted to senior vice president of development for EAME.
Recent additions to Black-Roberts' team include Anna Corkill as regional vice president of development for the UK and Ireland, Gabriela Basovska as director of development for Northern Europe, and Carlos Paredes as director of development for Southern Europe, while Briana Swift was promoted to regional vice president for Western Europe earlier this year.

“The EAME region plays a crucial role in Hyatt’s global expansion efforts. Over the past five years, Hyatt has achieved 79 per cent growth in EAME. This jump in scale has leveraged the long-standing strategy focusing on capital cities and urban centres, which built the foundation for growth in secondary destinations, resorts and leisure spaces,” said Javier Águila, group president EAME at Hyatt.
“We are confident that our strengthened development and transactions structure will allow us to explore new avenues of growth, ultimately accelerating expansion into new markets and segments.”
