Fairmont Hotels & Resorts is pleased to announce the appointment of Kevin Frid to Senior Vice President Operations for North America. Based out of Fairmont’s corporate headquarters in Toronto, Frid, who most recently held the position of Regional Vice President, U.S. Central Region & General Manager, The Fairmont Chicago, will be responsible for the direction and overall performance of Fairmont’s hotel operations in North America.
“Kevin has an extensive hospitality background and will be a great addition to our senior management team,” said Chris Cahill, Fairmont’s President & C.O.O. “I look forward to working alongside him as we continue to grow our business in North America with many of our key strategic partners.”

In 1997 he was subsequently chosen to oversee the day-to-day operations for the first-class hotel company as the brand’s Vice President Operations.
