Hyatt Hotels Corporation (NYSE: H) announced that Adam Rohman has been appointed Head of Americas, effective July 1, 2026. Rohman will succeed Pete Sears, who is retiring after nearly 40 years with the company.

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 of Hyatt.

Sears and Rohman will work together to ensure a smooth transition. Sears will continue supporting Hyatt in a Senior Advisor role for a period after June 30 to maintain continuity on key priorities and relationships. The company stated that a search for Rohman's successor is underway.
