Contacted by Hospitality-ON, sources close to the matter formally denied the news, published today by TradingSat, concerning Denis Hennequin's successor to head the Accor Group. The site announced Poitrinal, the former boss of Unibail-Rodamco, as the future leader of one of the largest players in the global hospitality industry.Whether about a polytechnical school graduate or a company redresser from the United States, speculation on the future head of Accor continue to run in the business press, which seems to have forgotten the basics of their business by adopting the inappropriate behavior of gossip magazines. The spread of such rumors is a malicious act which is detrimental to the success of the implementation of the group's new management. We must therefore stop feeding the rumors and allow time for shareholders to make their decision, which will determine the future of the world's leading hotel operator.Shareholders have a lot of work this summer. A selection process by a recruitment firm has been launched to provide the ideal candidate or duo, who will be able to pursue the strategy that the board desires. According to our information, no decision would be announced before the end of August.
