In his new role, Richer will be responsible for the growth of Hyatt’s full service and select service brands in Canada. Richer will be based in Toronto, Ontario, and will report to Julienne Smith, Hyatt’s senior vice president of franchise and managed development for Hyatt Place and Hyatt House in North America, and David Tarr, Hyatt’s senior vice president of development for the Americas.
Richer joins Hyatt with more than 14 years of hospitality experience, beginning his career in operations for Starwood Hotels & Resorts in Australia. Most recently, he served as Executive Director of Development for Delta Hotels and Resorts, where he was instrumental in Delta’s growth in Canada. Richer started with Delta in 2003 in sales at Delta Lodge in Kananaskis in Alberta before moving to a marketing role at Delta’s corporate office in 2004. He left Delta in 2006, and joined Choice Hotels International’s franchise sales and development (Canada) team. In 2010, Richer rejoined Delta as development director, where he built and managed a comprehensive development pipeline.
“Scott has the leadership skills and requisite experience to propel Hyatt’s full service and select service growth in Canada,” said Smith. “With his extensive knowledge of the hotel industry, as well as his broad range of owner and industry relationships, we’re excited to have Scott lead this charge. He is a talented leader with outstanding instincts and a track record for driving brand development, and I am confident Scott’s skills and expertise will raise the bar as Hyatt continues to grow its brand presence throughout Canada.”
