Chavy will be responsible for the overall strategic direction and performance of The Lux Collective whilst helping it expand in high potential markets.
He will work alongside the board of directors, key executives, general managers and staff of the resorts, to “innovate and craft distinctive experiences that will further set the iconic hotel group apart”.
Chairman Arnaud Lagesse welcomed his appointment highlighting his “dynamic” leadership and vast experience with groups that include Travel+Leisure, Mövenpick and Hilton.
Lagesse said: “After a rigorous selection exercise, the board is proud to announce the appointment of Olivier Chavy. We are confident that Olivier’s experience in the travel and hospitality business coupled with his over 30-year track record in business transformation will strengthen and guide TLC towards its future strategy.
“His mandate will be to continue to ride on the wave of success of TLC and grow our different brands in the various key markets, whilst curating new brand experiences and bringing to life our culture of exceptional service.”
Lagesse also thanked Paul Jones, who will be departing TLC in June 2024 following a 14-year tenure as CEO.
He added: “Paul’s unwavering commitment to delivering unparalleled guest experiences and market share leadership had a pivotal role in reaffirming TLC as a globally recognised luxury hospitality brand. He leaves a great legacy and I wish to thank him personally for the sustained growth in Mauritius and internationally.”
Chavy said: “I am honoured to join the team of this distinguished group, especially at such an exciting time. The Lux Collective, an award-winning Mauritian homegrown brand, is globally acclaimed for its exceptional service.
“My familiarity with TLC’s presence in the diverse markets, from Mauritius, the Maldives, and China to upcoming destinations of Vietnam and the UAE will be advantageous. Whilst I look forward to rediscovering these regions, my priority will be on collaborating closely with the team members, recognising their vital contribution to TLC’s future success and beyond.”
