Sustainable Hospitality Alliance announces new CEO
Glenn Mandziuk replaces the charity’s previous CEO, Madhu Rajesh, who left the organisation in September 2021
The Sustainable Hospitality Alliance has announced the appointment of Glenn Mandziuk as its new chief executive officer.
Mandziuk has over 25 years of leadership experience in advancing sustainable practices in tourism, hospitality and economic development.
Prior to becoming CEO of the Sustainable Hospitality Alliance, he was president and chief executive officer of Canada’s Thompson Okanagan Tourism Region (TOTA), with its 4,000 industry stakeholders.
He replaces the charity’s previous CEO, Madhu Rajesh, who left the organisation in September 2021, with Patrick O’Meara continuing her leadership as interim CEO.
Wolfgang M. Neumann, chair of the Sustainable Hospitality Alliance, said: “The external environment has been hugely challenging for the industry over the past two years, but the opportunities and urgency of the need to take significant and rapid steps to advance sustainable development globally have never been higher.
“The Alliance, and our work, has generated enormous momentum across the social and environmental agendas, and we are highly confident that Glenn is the executive to lead our organisation into its next phase of growth and influence.”
Mandzuik added: “As a passionate believer that tourism can be an agent of positive change, I am extremely honoured and enthused to be joining the Sustainable Hospitality Alliance team.
‘I am very excited to bring the organisation’s vision to life and build on their strong legacy. I admire all those involved over the years for having the foresight to establish such a pivotal organisation that is crucially positioned to inspire the industry as it reimagines itself post-pandemic.”
