My Place Hotels of America, the largest affiliated company of The Rivett Organization, today announced the promotion of Eric Myers to senior vice president of franchise development. The move reflects both a recognition of Myers’ leadership contributions to date and the intentional repositioning of his role to support The Rivett Organization’s unified growth strategy across its vertically integrated ecosystem of affiliated companies.
In his new role, Myers will lead advancement of franchise growth initiatives while deepening engagement across The Rivett Organization, reinforcing alignment between franchise development, construction, and operational teams. He will work closely with The Rivett Organization’s newly appointed chief development officer, Brian Quinn, to implement the platform’s broader strategic development objectives. Together, Myers and Quinn will drive a cohesive and disciplined approach to franchise expansion, portfolio positioning, and long-term brand growth.
Myers joined The Rivett Organization in 2015 as vice president of development, bringing a practical, owner-minded perspective to the organization’s real estate and development activities. In 2018, he transitioned into franchise development, where he has since become a key contributor to the growth of the My Place brand.
“Eric has consistently demonstrated a strong ability to serve our franchisees while contributing meaningfully to the growth of the brand,” said Ryan Rivett, co-founder and CEO of My Place Hotels. “His experience as an owner and developer has been additive across numerous projects and relationships, and his leadership has helped strengthen the foundation of our franchise development platform.”
That combination of owner perspective, franchisee trust, and development expertise positions Myers to play a central role in the next phase of expansion for The Rivett Organization and My Place.
“Brian’s arrival to lead our enterprise-wide growth strategy, paired with Eric’s promotion, ensures continuity and strength within our franchise development efforts as we enter this next phase,” Rivett added.
“I’m looking forward to working closely with Brian and the broader team to execute on our growth objectives,” Myers said. “What’s always set this brand apart is the strength of our franchisee relationships, and continuing to build on those will remain at the center of everything we do.”
