Hotelbeds’ Executive Chairman moves to non-executive role
PALMA, 5 hours, 32 minutes ago Hotelbeds’ Executive Chairman Joan Vilà, after dedicating more than 30 years of his career to driving significant innovation, transformation, and growth, has announced his decision to move to a non-executive role on the Board of Hotelbeds. Vilà had originally planned to step back from the day to day running of the company in 2020, but the impact of Covid-19 required him to delay the move to focus on successfully navigating the company through the global crisis. Now, with a strengthened balance sheet and with the company in a good position to capitalise on the recovery once travel demand returns, Vilà believes that this is the right time for him to follow his original plan to move to a non-executive role on Hotelbeds’ board.
