Mustafa Gokcen

I'm a seasoned Global IT Leader with over 20 years of experience shaping and executing technology strategy across hospitality, real estate, and investment sectors. From leading large-scale cloud migrations at Marriott International to driving digital transformation and innovation at Cheval Collection, I’ve consistently aligned technology with business growth. I’ve managed IT operations in 100+ countries, overseen multi-million dollar budgets, and advised C-level executives on digital strategy, cybersecurity, and innovation. I specialise in cloud-first architectures, automation, and leveraging emerging tech like AI to improve guest experience and operational performance. Currently, I serve as Global Head of IT at Cheval Collection, overseeing infrastructure, compliance, and digital initiatives across multiple brands and ventures. I’m passionate about building high-performing teams and ensuring IT is not just a support function—but a catalyst for transformation.
