Four Seasons boss Simon Casson leaves the group after 34 years to lead small Malta-based Cornithia back to profitability.
Maltese independent hotel firm Cornithia has hired a new CEO, Simon Casson, the previous Europe, Middle East and Africa president of Four Seasons. Casson steps into the luxury hotel owner-operator while it is still feeling the sting of the pandemic four years ago.
Corinthia Hotels is under a holding investment group with eight luxury hotels around the world and another eight in the pipeline. Casson officially starts the role in April, moving from Dubai where he was based with Four Seasons, to London.
Casson mentioned in a LinkedIn post: "I will be working with the team to elevate the company in the luxury space and grow the brand in key global markets."
