Andrew McLachlan joins Hilton as MD of Sub-Saharan Africa
Hilton has appointed Andrew McLachlan as managing director of development in Sub-Saharan Africa. He joins the company with over 30 years' experience of the African hospitality market in operations and development roles and will oversee its ambitious growth plans in the region.
Patrick Fitzgibbon, Hilton's SVP of development for EMEA, says: "Andrew is a well-respected figure in the African hospitality industry, and it is a great testament to the momentum behind Hilton that he has decided to join our team. He will work closely with the teams we have in place in Dubai, Cape Town and Nairobi to drive hotel growth, building on the milestone we reached last year of 100 properties trading and under development on the continent."
McLachlan will be based in Hilton's Development office in Cape Town, South Africa, leading a team of developers working across the region. Hilton has 46 hotels open in Africa across six brands with 57 further properties in the pipeline.
