Hyatt Appoints Adam Rohman as Head of Americas

Pete Sears to retire after nearly four decades of leadership at Hyatt

Rohman brings more than two decades of Hyatt experience, having begun his career in a series of on-property finance roles before advancing through a broad range of finance and operational leadership positions. Throughout his tenure, he has held key leadership roles, including SVP of Finance for the Americas and Global Head of Asset Management.

Hyatt Hotels Corporation has announced that Adam Rohman has been appointed Head of Americas, effective July 1, 2026. Rohman succeeds Pete Sears, who is retiring following an extraordinary nearly 40-year career with Hyatt.

Rohman currently serves as Senior Vice President, Investor Relations, Global Financial Planning & Analysis, and Treasurer. In his new role, he will oversee operations across Hyatt’s Americas region, including hotels within the Classics, Essentials and Luxury portfolios, as well as global brand strategy for the Classics and Essentials portfolios.

“Adam is a highly respected leader with deep knowledge of our business, strong relationships across our organization and a proven track record of disciplined, strategic leadership,” said Mark Hoplamazian, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, Hyatt. “I have great confidence in Adam as he leads the Americas region into its next chapter and continues building on the foundation firmly established under Pete’s leadership.”

Small Tip To Landing Good Senior-Level Hotel Management Positions in 2026

Many of our members have remained with us since the inception of our job lead service seven years ago. They continue to renew their memberships, staying on board even after securing new positions, and for good reason.

Daily, our editors dispatch bulletins detailing new job vacancies, projects, and industry shifts, including hotel launches, expansions, strategies, and market trends.

We recognize that numerous long-standing, senior-level members utilize these bulletins as conversation starters, reaching out to hotel chains and potential employers, sometimes with unsolicited applications and messages. LHN endorses such proactive engagement. It's an excellent, informal method to gain early interest from prominent hotel groups and upcoming projects, indicating your interest and broadening your opportunities for intriguing interviews or discussions about potential roles, particularly at the upper echelons of management.

Our editors also keep these proactive efforts in mind, shaping many bulletins to cover "new openings, new projects, and new market developments."

While membership spots for 2026 are limited, it's not too late to renew.- Read more her
