PPHE Hotel Group appoints new deputy chief exec

Hospitality real estate company PPHE Hotel Group has named a new deputy chief executive and chief operating officer. Greg Hegarty, currently chief operating officer, has been promoted to the joint position. He will retain his existing role while working alongside Boris Ivesha, president and chief executive, to drive growth in the group and set its long-term strategy as its deputy chief executive. The news comes after Inbar Zilberman was promoted to chief corporate and legal officer earlier this month. Zilberman joined PPHE in 2010 and was previously the company’s general counsel. In her new role, she will oversee the group’s corporate initiatives including acquisitions and expansion, corporate governance and corporate social responsibility.
