HEI Hotels & Resorts Appoints New CEO
6/21/2012
NORWALK, Conn.— HEI Hotels & Resorts announced that Anthony Rutledge, chief financial officer and general counsel has been promoted to the position of chief executive officer. Company co-founder Gary Mendell will remain as Chairman of the 43-hotel owner/operator. The company operates hotels and resorts as part of investment portfolios of almost $3 billion.
Rutledge joined HEI shortly after its formation in 2002, and since then has contributed to overseeing all aspects of the company’s growth and acquisitions, as well as the sourcing of all debt and equity financing for its various funds. Over the past decade, the company has assembled a portfolio of 43 properties under major brands like Starwood, Marriott, Hilton, and Intercontinental. In addition to acquisitions, the company invested in the construction of three new hotels that created almost 800 local jobs, and purchased several troubled hotels that preserved jobs and created economic enrichment to local communities.
“Anthony’s expertise and leadership has been, and will continue to be, a major factor in our success which has greatly benefitted our employees, our guests, local economies and our investment community,” said HEI Chairman Gary Mendell, in an announcement. “Anthony’s leadership skills, relationships, understanding and appreciation of risk, and commitment to our platform will continue to drive value on behalf of HEI. He has great insight into our industry and will be a tremendous chief executive to continue our vision and path.”
Rutledge has extensive experience in all aspects of real estate and corporate transactions, including experience in sourcing, structuring and managing more than $10 billion in real estate investments. His experience also includes hospitality finance, hotel operations, human resources and asset management.
“Although I am humbled and excited about my new role, HEI’s tremendous success is a direct result of the commitments from our employees, investors, brands, financial partners and guests. Over the last 25 years we have built the best owner operator platform in our industry, with strong investment returns and employee and guest satisfaction scores,” Rutledge said. “We are perfectly positioned to grow our platform and build upon our success in the years to come.” READER COMMENTS
