Marriott announces changes to leadership and strategic realignment
“Liam and Brian are extraordinary leaders whose impact on Marriott and our people cannot be overstated,” said Anthony Capuano. “They have guided our company through pivotal moments with vision, integrity, and a deep commitment to our associates, guests and owners. While we will miss Liam and Brian, we are grateful for their decades of service and the lasting legacy they leave behind.”
Liam Brown’s nearly four-decade career with Marriott has been defined by strategic growth and measurable impact. From his start as General Manager of the Courtyard by Marriott in Syracuse, New York in 1989 to his current role as Group President, US & Canada, Brown has driven expansion across key segments and strengthened Marriott’s market position. He played a pivotal role in advancing franchising, elevating brand management, and scaling select-service operations globally. His leadership in Europe, Middle East & Africa and later in the US & Canada delivered sustained portfolio growth, operational efficiencies, and resilience through periods of significant industry disruption. His ability to connect with and develop deep relationships with owners and franchisees has been a hallmark of his tenure with Marriott.
