Hilton has named Anne-Marie D’Angelo as executive vice president and general counsel.

D’Angelo reports to Christopher J. Nassetta, president and CEO of Hilton, and serves as a member of the executive committee.
Nassetta said he has quickly come to appreciate D’Angelo’s business savvy and her shared belief in the power of hospitality as a force for good in the world.
“In today’s increasingly complex world, global businesses need a strong legal foundation and legal leaders who equip teams with exceptional support and counsel. Anne-Marie is a recognized, respected leader with a proven track record that spans industries and complex matters, and I know she will offer outstanding strategic guidance and lead our legal function – and Hilton – with the highest level of integrity," said Nassetta.
D'Angelo added that it was an honour to be joining the Hilton company, and has long respected its history, innovation and award-winning workplace culture.
"Hilton’s global presence and powerful franchise model has a positive impact on businesses and travellers around the world, and I look forward to helping strengthen Hilton’s already strong reputation.”
