Coyle, who has over 25 years of progressive sales and development experience, will lead the brand’s strategic direction in the United States and Canada to ensure the success and retention of more than 250 member properties.

Based out of the company’s New York City office, Coyle reports to Michelle Woodley, President of Preferred Hotels & Resorts.
