Former Marriott Executive Liam Brown Joins Chatham Lodging Trust Board
Chatham Lodging Trust has appointed former Marriott International executive Liam Brown to its board of trustees, effective immediately. Brown brings extensive experience from his nearly four-decade career at Marriott, where he held leadership roles including group president for the U.S., Canada and EMEA regions. Brown will serve as an independent director on Chatham's board, which oversees a portfolio of 39 upscale extended stay and premium-branded select-service hotels. His appointment is expected to provide valuable insights into operations and franchisor-franchisee relationships, aiding in shareholder value enhancement through improved operating results and capital allocation decisions. Brown currently also serves on the boards of EPR Properties and the American Hotel & Lodging Association. Marriott has already transitioned leadership responsibilities following Brown's retirement by appointing Satya Anand as group president for key regions.
