The group that owns the luxury hotel brand Amanresorts will change its course with the departure of its Chairman and CEO, who will be replaced by Johan Eliasch and Vladislav Doronin.
Adrian Zecha decided to bring his work as Chairman and CEO of Aman Group, the group that owns the luxury hotel brand Amanresorts that he founded in 1988. Just a little over a year ago, by mobilizing $300 million with his partners, he regained control over his group, which he had previously sold to the Indian fund DFL. Continuing this action will be Johan Eliasch, a renowned expert in brand strategy, as Chairman, and Vladislav Doronin, real estate promoter and now primary shareholder in the group, as CEO. "We are grateful for Adrian Zecha's outstanding achievements and we are committed to extending his legacy to build on Amanresorts' foundation as a luxury global resort brand," Johan Eliasch said. "As someone who is very familiar with the distinctive Aman experience, I am excited to take on this role as Chairman." The new CEO, Vladislav Doronin, meanwhile, declared: "The Aman Group's philosophy is to immerse guests in a unique and personal experience. We intend to preserve the spirit of Aman while growing the brand through future strategic development opportunities including exotic locations for which the brand is well-known as well as into major metropolitan destinations. As lead investor and CEO, I am dedicated to ensuring that the organization has the necessary resources to sustain and enhance its position as an industry pioneer. The future holds great promise for this iconic brand." Aman Group currently has a network of 26 luxury resort properties under the Aman brand in 18 countries: Thailand, Bhutan, Cambodia, China, France, Greece, India, Indonesia, Italy, Laos, Montenegro, Morocco, Philippines, Sri Lanka, Turkey, Turks & Caicos Islands, USA, and Vietnam. |
