Marriott International chief financial officer and EVP development Leeny Oberg has announced she will retire in 2026 after 26 years with the company.
Two long-time Marriott veterans have been named her successors, with Jen Mason to become the company’s chief financial officer and Shawn Hill taking on the role of chief development officer.
“Leeny’s focus on value creation is evident in everything she does,” said Anthony Capuano, Marriott’s president and CEO.
“Whether it was navigating the pandemic successfully, enhancing the company’s cost competitiveness or having a disciplined and strategic approach to investing in growth, her impact on Marriott is long lasting.
“I am grateful to Leeny for helping to position the company so beautifully for this transition and for her many years of leadership and friendship.”
Oberg said it has been an honour to be part of the Marriott team.
“Reflecting on my tenure, I am most proud of my teams and what we have accomplished together,” she said.
“While it’s never easy to leave a company and job you love, I have the utmost confidence in the leaders who will assume these roles and am very optimistic about the strategic path Marriott is on. I look forward to working collaboratively with them to ensure a smooth transition for the company.”
