Jim Mikolaichik has been appointed Chief Executive Officer (CEO) at Holiday Inn Club Vacations
Holiday Inn Club Vacations Incorporated ("HICV"), an international vacation ownership company, today announced the appointment of Jim Mikolaichik as Chief Executive Officer, effective December 1, 2025. Mr. Mikolaichik succeeds current President and CEO John Staten, who will step down upon Mr. Mikolaichik's appointment and then serve in an advisory role through March 31, 2026, to ensure a seamless transition.
Mr. Mikolaichik brings more than three decades of broad business and executive leadership experience, including the past decade focused on hospitality, experiential entertainment and consumer-facing industries. He has a proven record of driving transformation and growth, empowering high-performing teams and delivering exceptional customer and member experiences.
He previously served as Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer at Diamond Resorts, which was the largest non-branded vacation ownership company in the industry at that time. During his tenure, he helped lead expansion into new owner channels, strengthen relationships with existing owners and enhance the company's core vacation offerings - efforts that supported Diamond's successful sale to Hilton Grand Vacations in 2021. Mr. Mikolaichik also served as Chief Financial Officer of Hilton Grand Vacations, where he led an initial public listing, spearheaded growth initiatives and championed innovation, collaboration and a guest- and member-centric culture. He joins HICV from his role as Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer at United Parks & Resorts.
In addition, Mike Flaskey will be appointed to the Board of HICV. Mr. Flaskey is a highly respected industry leader who previously served as CEO of Diamond Resorts, where he worked alongside Mr. Mikolaichik. His expertise in experiential travel, member engagement and strategic partnerships will further strengthen HICV as the company enters its next chapter.
