Hyatt Hotels Corporation has named Eduardo Schutte senior vice president of commercial for the Hyatt Inclusive Collection, placing him in charge of sales, revenue management, marketing, distribution, brand strategy and other commercial functions across the company’s all-inclusive portfolio.

The appointment takes effect July 27.

Schutte will report to Javier Águila, president of the Hyatt Inclusive Collection, and work with Hyatt Chief Commercial Officer Mark Vondrasek.

“Eduardo brings a rare combination of hospitality operating depth, sophisticated distribution expertise and enterprise-scale commercial leadership,” Águila said. “Under his leadership, I’m confident our commercial organization will reach new heights and play an even greater role in delivering on our ambition to be the world’s best all-inclusive organization.”
