As announced in July 2022, Accor’s new organization is now being implemented progressively throughout the first quarter of the year depending on local legislations, particularly regarding the obligations to consult staff representatives. The new structure will allow the Group to accelerate growth and better address market developments, deliver the highest possible levels of service for all its stakeholders, facilitating accurate and effective fulfilment of guest needs and expectations, and providing clarity and performance to its partners.
Under the leadership of Sébastien Bazin, Group Chairman & CEO and Jean-Jacques Morin, Group Deputy CEO, as of 1st of January 2023, Accor’s operations are now relying on two dedicated divisions: a Premium, Midscale & Economy division and a Luxury & Lifestyle division, both supported by a Group Management Board and a Global Shared Platform delivering expertise and services to both divisions including Digital, Technology and Procurement.
The “Premium, Midscale & Economy” division brings together brands from the Group’s Premium, Midscale and Economy segments and will be structured around four regions.
Executive Committee under the leadership of Jean-Jacques Morin as CEO:
- Thomas DUBAERE, CEO Americas
- Patrick MENDES, CEO Europe & North Africa
