Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts has promoted Jean-Pierre Soutric to vice president corporate & travel industry sales – Europe.
Soutic, who began his career with Four Seasons in 1995 when he opened the Hotel George V in Paris, has been director of corporate and travel industry sales for Europe, the Middle East and Africa since 2008.
He has been instrumental in developing Four Season's European Preferred Partner Programme and the company said: "His tenacity and determination to form successful working relationships with lucrative partners in every corner of Europe has resulted in 75 Preferred Partner agencies in 18 countries across the European Region."
