Small Luxury Hotels of the World names new CEO
Small Luxury Hotels of the World has appointed Jean-François Ferret as CEO, starting September 2018.
Based in the company’s London headquarters, Ferret will take responsibility for SLH’s international teams and will lead strategic direction of the brand’s luxury portfolio of over 500 SLH hotels in more than 80 countries.
He most recently worked at the French association Relais & Châteaux, where he held the position of CEO for more than six years.
Before that, he was the director general of Hertz France and prior to that, he was the managing director and president of Manpower France.
During his 30 years of experience, he has also held travel and hospitality positions as deputy managing director of American Express Travel France, MD of Thomas Cook (France), Senior Vice President of Thomas Cook (West Europe) and chief financial officer of Compass Group (Europe).
He replaces Filip Boyen who has resigned from his position at SLH after three successful years, spearheading significant change within the organisation such as renewed focus on the brand’s quality assurance programme to attract new hotels to the SLH portfolio.
