Full-service hotel management company Valor Hospitality Partners has promoted Paul Nisbett as its new global chief financial officer.
Nisbett steps into the global role after serving as CFO for Valor’s EMEA region, where he oversaw finance and administrative operations across Europe, the Middle East and Africa since joining the company in September 2015.
During his tenure, Nisbett has strengthened financial governance, supported strategic acquisitions and built scalable infrastructure to support Valor’s growth.
Early in his career, Nisbett held positions at the Castle Hotel Windsor and The Imperial Hotel in Torquay and went on to hold senior finance positions at Forte, Hilton, Le Méridien Hotels, Principal Hayley and The Hotel Collection. As CFO of The Hotel Collection, Nisbett helped transition the group to the Puma Hotels Collection. He also helped develop Red Carnation Hotels, Malmaison and Hotel du Vin.
In his new role, Nisbett will oversee Valor’s worldwide financial strategy, supporting the company’s growth plans, including targeted expansion in America and Europe, as well as further strengthening operations across the Middle East and Africa.
“Paul’s appointment as Global CFO reflects his outstanding leadership within Valor and the depth of experience he brings from more than three decades in hospitality finance,” Euan McGlashan, co-founder and global CEO of Valor Hospitality Partners, said in a statement. “He understands our business from the ground up and has been instrumental in shaping our EMEA territories into high-performing, growth-focused operations. As we continue to scale internationally, Paul’s strategic insight and unwavering commitment to our teams and owners will be critical to our next chapter.
“Paul’s appointment underscores our vision to build a world-class leadership team capable of delivering consistent results across diverse geographies while staying true to our purpose of creating value through hospitality that is globally connected and locally inspired.”
“Valor’s strength lies in its ability to combine global expertise with deep local insight,” Nisbett said. “Our ‘Whole World of Local’ philosophy is not just a brand statement; it’s a financial and operational mindset. We build strong local platforms, empower exceptional teams, and align closely with our owners to achieve strong performance. I’m proud to take on this global role at such an exciting chapter in Valor’s journey and look forward to supporting our continued expansion across established and emerging markets.”
