WHY IT RATES: The announcement of Federico Greppi as Chief Operations Officer for Marriott International in the Caribbean and Latin America underscores Marriott's strategic leadership and commitment to operational excellence in the region, which directly impacts the guest experience across nearly 500 properties. — Laurie Baratti, TravelPulse Contributing Editor


Marriott International has announced Federico Greppi as Chief Operations Officer (COO) for Caribbean and Latin America (CALA). In this role, the Argentine executive with extensive experience in Latin America will lead operations in the CALA region.  

"Federico is a dedicated professional with strategic planning skills and a keen focus on the day-to-day operations," said Brian King, President of Marriott International CALA. "His ability to translate Marriott International's global vision into effective local actions has been invaluable to our business, earning him recognition from the team, owners, and operators."  

Greppi’s most recent position was Chief Financial Officer (CFO) and Head of Franchise Operations and Owner Relations of Marriott International in the Caribbean and Latin America. He was instrumental in driving Marriott's growth in the CALA region. The company currently operates nearly 500 properties across 38 markets, generating over $5 billion in revenue. His deep understanding of Latin American and Caribbean markets will be crucial in maintaining Marriott's regional leadership.

With a career in hospitality spanning over two decades, Greppi joined the industry in 2003 and has held various positions at Marriott's Headquarters, the Americas, and CALA divisions. Prior to Marriott, he was a respected consultant at Andersen, a global leader in consulting and financial services, where he worked with clients across various industries.
