CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
At the end of 2012, the Board of Directors of
NH Hoteles appointed Rodrigo Echenique Gordillo
as non-executive Chairman of the Company’s highest
governing body and Federico González Tejera as
Chief Executive Officer.
Rodrigo Echenique Gordillo
is deeply familiar with
NH Hoteles, having served on its Board of Directors
for eight years (1997-2005). He boasts a long and
rich professional trajectory, with his experience in
banking, in the State Administration and presence
on several boards, including the chairmanship of
Vallehermoso, standing out. He is currently an
independent director at Banco Santander and a non-
executive director at Vocento and Agrolimen, S.A.
Federico González Tejera
has spent much of his
professional career at several leading multinationals
in the consumer goods, leisure and tourism industries,
including Disneyland Paris and Procter & Gamble.
He has spent the last 18 years of his career abroad,
working in Belgium, Sweden, Portugal and France,
among other countries.
With these two hires, NH Hoteles has articulated a
new corporate governance model, splitting the roles
of chairman, whose non-executive duties will centre
on the Company’s management and governance at
the highest level, and chief executive, with the newly
appointed CEO focusing the Company’s business
operations.
