They will report to PHM’s SVP, revenue generation, Vickie Callahan. Consistent with PHM’s objective of fostering an environment of gender equality, these executive appointments confirm the company’s commitment to this important area.

Their expertise and leadership will be critical in helping Peachtree continue to drive measurable growth in its hotel portfolio.”

Previously, she was VP, digital strategy for Crescent Hotels & Resorts and corporate director of e-commerce and marketing for John Q. Hammons Hotels & Resorts.

She supported topline revenue teams with more than $1.5 billion in sales and provided strategic planning for more than 50 hotels, including extensive experience with hotel openings, transitions and rebrandings.
