Minutes with: Simon Turner, Wired For Success With Starwood

摘要

In April, Starwood Hotels & Resorts, White Plains, New York, appointed Simon Turner as president of global development, a move that might help stabilize an organization that has had its share of turmoil in executive suite and new leadership from outside the hotel business. Turner's high-profile list of contacts, combined with global hotel financing experience gathered over 10 years as a principal for Hotel Capital Advisers, New York City, a hotel investment advisory and asset management firm working on hotel development on behalf of Saudi Prince Alwaleed, positions him well to guide investment management at Starwood. HOTELS chatted with Turner, a 30-year industry veteran, about his goals and views on the state of the hotel business.
