SYDNEY – Rendezvous Hotels & Resorts International has appointed Michael Meade as group senior vice president of sales & marketing. He will be responsible for all Rendezvous’ sales and marketing strategies and activities, starting in January 2008.

Prior to this, he held the position of regional director of marketing, Australia, New Zealand, South Pacific for Intercontinental Hotels Group, responsible for the sales and marketing function for over 45 hotels across five brands.
Rendezvous’ chief executive Alan Featherby said, “Michael’s role is vital as we continue to expand the group throughout the region. He will bring a strong international background and extensive strategic marketing experience to our group efforts and will make an important contribution to our senior executive team.
“With 14 hotels already operating under the Rendezvous and Marque brands and the plan to double this over the next five years, it is imperative that Rendezvous continues to focus on programmes and people that will deliver market leadership.”
