DiamondRock announces leadership changes

DiamondRock Hospitality announced leadership changes and a simplified organizational structure to drive continued business momentum: Jeffrey Donnelly, previously Executive Vice President and CFO, has been appointed CEO. Donnelly is expected to join the Company’s Board of Directors after the 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, which will be held in May. He succeeds Mark Brugger, who, after 20 years of service, is departing the Company. Briony Quinn, previously Senior Vice President and Treasurer, has been named Executive Vice President, CFO and Treasurer, succeeding Donnelly. Justin Leonard, formerly Executive Vice President and COO, has been appointed President. Leonard will maintain his role as COO and will assume the responsibilities previously overseen by Troy Furbay, Executive Vice President and Chief Investment Officer, who is departing the Company. With these changes, which are effective today, DiamondRock has reduced its executive team structure from six to four members, including the Company’s Executive Vice President and General Counsel.
