Hyatt Hotels Corporation on May 12th 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.”
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.
“Adam understands our business deeply and appreciates the importance of strong relationships with owners, operators, guests and colleagues,” Hoplamazian added. “His thoughtful leadership style and commitment to Hyatt’s culture position him well for this role.”
Sears and Rohman will work closely together to ensure a smooth transition. Sears will continue supporting Hyatt in a Senior Advisor role for a period of time after June 30 to ensure continuity on key priorities and relationships. A search for Rohman’s successor is underway.
