The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection is making two leadership
changes as the luxury cruise brand expands its presence in the global travel
market, naming Alan Leibman chief executive officer and Tatiana Ferreira
president.
Leibman brings more than three decades of luxury hospitality
experience to the position. He previously served as CEO of Kerzner
International, overseeing its Atlantis and One&Only portfolios, and began
his career with Ritz-Carlton in 1990.
The appointment also marks a return to the brand for
Leibman, who previously became the youngest general manager in Ritz-Carlton
history at age 25.
Ferreira, previously the company’s chief sales officer, will
continue overseeing sales while adding marketing, technology and guest
experience to her responsibilities. She brings nearly 25 years of experience
with luxury brands, including Louis Vuitton, Neiman Marcus and The Walt Disney
Company.
The leadership changes come as the company continues to
build its cruise operations and expand its international reach.
The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection currently operates three
yachts: Evrima, Ilma and Luminara, offering itineraries across the
Mediterranean, Caribbean, Alaska, Asia-Pacific and other destinations.
