Maria Murillo has been named Director of People at Virgin Hotels New York City

Maria Murillo has been named Director of People with a core responsibility of supporting employee engagement and productivity. Murillo's approach in humanizing business operations works to create a positive employee experience, which ensures proactive company culture, consistent engagement, training and development, recruitment practices, and other "people processes." The People team's main priority will be to understand employees holistically, not just as individual contributors. Murillo joins Virgin Hotels New York after decades-long experience as Director of Human Resources at The St. Regis New York, The Knickerbocker Times Square, and, most recently, Room Mate Hotels.
