Brittain Resorts & Hotels (BRH), a full-service hospitality management company in the Southeast, has recruited Christy Jernigan as chief development officer.
Jernigan has more than 20 years of industry experience, most notably serving as the vice president of business development at Aimbridge Hospitality. During her 16-year tenure with Aimbridge, she helped to grow the company’s portfolio to over 1,500 hotels worldwide. Earlier in her career, she held various operational roles at Remington Hotels.
In her new role, Jernigan will lead all aspects of business development at BRH, including the expansion of the company’s third-party management platform by sourcing new deals, acquiring properties and spearheading efforts to expand the network of investment partners.
“As we continue to accelerate our growth strategy and expand our portfolio, it was clear we needed to add a chief development officer to our leadership team,” said Matthew Brittain, CEO at BRH. Christy undoubtedly brings with her a proven track record of success, but also fits perfectly within our culture at BRH.”
