YOTEL has appointed Phil Andreopoulos as Chief Executive Officer following the Al-Bahar Group’s increased stake in the company.
YOTEL has announced the appointment of Phil Andreopoulos as its new Chief Executive Officer. This leadership change follows the Al-Bahar Group’s majority stake acquisition in the company, which increased its ownership to over 95% earlier this year. The move is part of YOTEL’s strategy to expand its global hotel portfolio to 15,000 rooms by 2030.
Andreopoulos joins YOTEL with extensive experience in the hospitality industry, having previously held senior leadership roles at Marriott International. His responsibilities at Marriott included overseeing brand management, marketing, e-commerce, sales, reservations, revenue management, loyalty, communications, and consumer insights across 78 countries.
The appointment of Andreopoulos is part of a broader strategic leadership evolution at YOTEL, which also saw the recent appointment of Yvonne Thomsen as Chief Financial Officer. Thomsen joined from IHG, where she served as VP Finance Europe and Chief Financial Officer for Six Senses Hotels.
YOTEL currently operates 23 hotels across 16 cities and airports worldwide, including locations in New York, Boston, San Francisco, Washington D.C., Miami, Tokyo, Singapore, Edinburgh, London, Amsterdam, Porto, Geneva, Glasgow, Manchester, Paris, and Istanbul. The company has 11 additional hotels in the pipeline, set to open over the next 24 months in cities such as Lisbon, London, Belfast, Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur, New York, NEOM in Saudi Arabia, and Perth.
