Hospitality Ventures Management Group (HVMG), an Atlanta-based hotel management company specializing in repositioning underperforming hotels and maximizing the performance of stabilized properties, announced the appointment of Pete Sams as president.
Sams joins HVMG from Highgate Hotels, where he served as president. Previously, Sams held multiple leadership roles within the KSL portfolio, including serving for more than six years as chief operating officer of Peregrine Hospitality and Davidson Hospitality Group.
“After a thoughtful and diligent search process and spending significant time getting to know Pete both personally and professionally, it became very clear that he is the right person and an exceptional fit for this role,” said Robert Cole, founder and CEO. “We share a strong alignment around leadership philosophy, and Pete brings a compelling combination of operational excellence, industry relationships, financial and business acumen, and a proven ability to develop high-performing teams.”
“I am honored to join HVMG as president at such an exciting time in the company’s evolution,” Sams said. “As a founder of two companies and a former general manager himself, Robert has built HVMG from a single hotel 25 years ago into an organization with a strong foundation, an inspiring culture and values that align with my own. I am grateful for the opportunity to work with Robert and lead this talented team as we build on that foundation, continue raising the bar on performance and position HVMG for its next chapter of growth.”
