HHM Hotels promotes managing partners

HHM Hotels has promoted Shawn Tuli and Dani Elhachem to managing partner, in addition to their continuing roles as chief investment officer and chief operating officer, respectively.

In these newly expanded roles, Elhachem and Tuli will focus on revenue generation and distribution, lifestyle execution, restaurants and bars and technology-enabled platforms to drive margins and scalability across the platform.

"Our founding partners established the managing partner designation to represent a shift from functional leadership to shared stewardship and long-term accountability for the success of our company, our team, and our owners," HHM Hotels President & CEO Naveen Kakarla said in a statement. "I have worked alongside Shawn and Dani for decades, and their elevation is both natural and well-deserved. I have no doubt in their ability and focus on building the specific teams, systems, and capabilities that are required to maintain our growth and outperform on behalf of our owners."

Tuli has worked on HHM Hotels’ growth strategy for more than a dozen years, building the firm's joint-venture investment and asset-management platforms, as well as securing key financial investors. In his expanded role, he will continue to drive growth strategy while increasing focus on fostering the company’s culture.

Elhachem is the lead architect of HHM Hotels’ operating platform. He has scaled critical departments within the business, including luxury and lifestyle, distribution and commercial and strategic operations.
