In this role, he managed an owner-operator hospitality model that integrated operations, design and development across properties in New York, Los Angeles and Miami.
“As I step into the role of president at Hotel ZaZa, I am honored to join a brand with such a bold identity and dedicated team,” Fisher said. “Hotel ZaZa has a signature perspective and unique cultural energy. look forward to nurturing the brand’s spirit and supporting our teams to deliver on our collective vision.”

Before that, he held roles with The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company, MGM Resorts in Las Vegas and a corporate leadership position with Montage International, where he oversaw the Montage and Pendry brands across North America.
