(SVO) division. In addition, it also announced the appointment of Serge Rivera as the Co-President of its newly combined region under SVO, Starwood Americas.

Mr. Williams, who joined Starwood in the year 2000, has previously served as the Vice President of Sales & Marketing of the company. He possesses an experience of more than 30 years in the field of vacation ownership, residential and hospitality industries. Mr. Williams also held various top executive positions in Marriott Vacation Club, a brand of Marriott Vacations Worldwide Corp.
