PM Hotel Group appoints Steve Marino as vice president of information Technology + hotel systems. Marino brings more than 25 years of experience from Marriott International, where he held fourteen leadership roles supporting enterprise technology and hotel operations across brands including The Ritz-Carlton, Starwood and Gaylord Hotels.
“Steve’s depth of experience across both enterprise technology and hotel operations makes him an outstanding addition to our executive team,” CFO Jim O’Hara said in a statement. “His ability to align technology investment with operational performance will be instrumental as we continue to scale our platform and strengthen support for our hotels and ownership partners.”
Most recently, Marino served as vice president, U.S. & Canada IT, at Marriott International, overseeing technology strategy, operations, and support for more than 700 managed properties and 6,000 franchised hotels. He led geographically dispersed teams across in-market, above-property, and headquarters functions, consistently delivering exceptional customer satisfaction scores with both hotels and continental leadership. Under his direction, the organization achieved consecutive record-setting financial performance, ultimately delivering $28 million in annual IT revenue.
In his new role, Marino will oversee all aspects of IT infrastructure, hotel systems, cybersecurity and technology innovation across PM Hotel Group’s portfolio.
