Hyatt Hotels Corporation has announced that Alejandro Reynal, President & CEO of Apple Leisure Group, has decided to pursue opportunities outside of the Group, following a tenure of three years with the company, which Hyatt acquired in November 2021. His last day with Hyatt will be 30 September 2022.
"I am filled with deep gratitude and respect for Alejandro's leadership throughout the acquisition and our strong first year as one company," said Mark Hoplamazian, President and Chief Executive Officer, Hyatt. "With expertise and passion, Alejandro has led the ALG team to a position of strength and ensured ALG's business became a thriving part of Hyatt. We have learned a lot from each other, and I personally thank Alejandro for his partnership and friendship, which will endure. Moving ahead, I look forward to collaborating even more closely with each member of the ALG executive committee as we continue our growth journey together."
Reynal himself is also immensely proud of what the ALG leadership team and our colleagues worldwide have achieved together.
"We have moved through the toughest time in our industry and come out of it stronger than ever," said Reynal. "Working with Mark has been an honour – I am thankful to him and his leadership team for how ALG was welcomed into the Hyatt family and impressed by how our team has embraced the opportunities this next chapter brings. I firmly believe in the power of this combination and am very confident in a bright future ahead for both ALG and Hyatt."

To support him, Ray Snisky, Group President of ALG Vacations, will take on additional responsibilities related to business coordination and other operational matters, also effective 1 October 2022.
