Marriott International’s Board of Directors has announced that it has elected David Marriott, President, U.S. Full Service Managed by Marriott at Marriott International, and Horacio Rozanski, President and Chief Executive Officer at Booz Allen Hamilton, Inc., as directors of the company, effective March 15, 2021.
Mr. Marriott and Mr. Rozanski will also be included in the company’s slate of nominees for election at Marriott’s upcoming 2021 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.
The elections of Mr. Marriott and Mr. Rozanski expand the Board membership to 13, nine of whom are independent. Last May, the company announced that in consultation with its Board of Directors, Mr. J.W. “Bill” Marriott, Jr. – who is currently serving as Executive Chairman and Chairman of the Board – plans to transition to the role of Chairman Emeritus in 2022.
With Mr. David Marriott joining the Board of Directors and in anticipation of him eventually assuming the position of Chairman of the Board in 2022, he will be formally stepping down from his role as President, U.S. Full Service Managed by Marriott, effective at the end of April.
Speaking on the development, Chairman Bill Marriott, said, “We are pleased to welcome David and Horacio to the Board of Directors. They both bring decades of experience and a wealth of knowledge in key areas that will be a tremendous resource for the company as we focus on the recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic.”
