“#Marriott CEO Arne Sorenson dead at 62 after cancer battle<\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

\n

Marriott International\u2019s longtime chief executive Arne Sorenson died on Monday, the company said.<\/p>\n

Sorenson, 62, had been battling pancreatic cancer and had reduced his work schedule on Feb. 2 to receive more aggressive treatment, the company said at the time.<\/p>\n

He was only the third CEO in the company\u2019s 94-year history \u2014 assuming the role in 2012 \u2014 and the first outside the Marriott family to take the helm of the world\u2019s biggest hotel chain.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cArne was an exceptional executive \u2013 but more than that \u2013 he was an exceptional human being,\u201d said J.W. Marriott, Jr., executive chairman and chairman of the board. <\/p>\n

\u201cArne loved every aspect of this business and relished time spent touring our hotels and meeting associates around the world. He had an uncanny ability to anticipate where the hospitality industry was headed and position Marriott for growth,\u201d Marriott added. \u201cBut the roles he relished the most were as husband, father, brother and friend. On behalf of the Board and Marriott\u2019s hundreds of thousands of associates around the world, we extend our heartfelt condolences to Arne\u2019s wife and four children. We share your heartbreak, and we will miss Arne deeply.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sorenson disclosed his battle with cancer in May 2019. Born in Japan, he was the son of a Lutheran pastor and earned a law degree from the University of Minnesota.<\/p>\n

Under Sorenson, Marriott became the largest hotel company in the world after acquiring Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide in 2016 in a $13 billion deal, adding brands including the W Hotel chain, The St. Regis, Sheraton and Westin.<\/p>\n

Marriott tapp<\/a>ed two veteran executives and group presidents to temporarily assume Sorenson\u2019s duties this month, Stephanie Linnartz and Tony Capuano. Marriott said it will name a new CEO within the next two weeks.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
