 In his new position, Burchard initially will be responsible for reinvigorating the company’s sales and marketing, and increasing asset value.

 “There have been significant changes in marketing the past few years, and we want to regain our historically substantial competitive edge with new strategies, techniques and tools.

"Shaun adds significant bench strength to our management team with his broad range of experience, from full-service luxury hotels to midscale select-service brands and boutique hotels.
