Ranju Alex has been appointed Chief Executive Officer for South Asia at Accor, bringing with her over three decades of hospitality leadership experience.
She most recently served as Regional Vice President for South Asia at Marriott International, where she oversaw 170 hotels. Alex began her career with The Oberoi Group in 1993 before moving to Marriott, where she held several senior roles over the years. Her industry achievements have also been recognized with the prestigious Bharat Gaurav award.
“We are delighted to welcome Ranju to the Accor and InterGlobe family. She brings extensive experience, proven leadership skills, and a strong professional network. We are confident she will help us build a leading hospitality platform in South Asia,” said Gaurav Bhushan, Chairman of the proposed Accor–InterGlobe joint venture.
Commenting on her new role, Alex said: “I am excited to join Accor, which has one of the most diverse and dynamic portfolios of brands in the region. It is an honor to take on this role and drive the Group’s vision in South Asia.”
Her appointment comes as Accor deepens its collaboration with InterGlobe, announced earlier this year. The joint venture, subject to regulatory approvals, will consolidate their hospitality businesses into a single structure and accelerate the Group’s expansion in the region.
