Alan Leibman has been appointed as Chief Executive Officer at The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection

Leibman, a member of The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection’s board of directors, brings more than three decades of global luxury hospitality experience to the role. The appointment also marks a homecoming for Leibman, who, at age 25, became the youngest general manager in The Ritz-Carlton’s history. He previously served as CEO of Kerzner International, where he oversaw the Atlantis and One&Only portfolios across five continents. He began his hospitality career in 1990 at The Ritz-Carlton in Houston, where he later became general manager. He has also advised hospitality and travel companies across Europe, the Middle East and Africa and previously served as a senior adviser to Oaktree.

Leibman succeeds Ernesto Fara, who led the company during an important period in its growth. The board of directors extends its sincere appreciation to Fara for his contributions to the company.

With a three-yacht fleet sailing globally, The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection continues to expand its reach, bringing together extraordinary destinations, the legendary service of The Ritz-Carlton and a distinctly intimate way to explore the world.
