California
Gregg
Pearson, Senior Vice President of RIM
Hospitality announced that he will be
leaving RIM to launch Newport Creek Hospitality,
an international hotel management company
with headquarters in Walnut Creek, California.
A respected veteran in the industry with
over 22 years of experience, Gregg was
the Regional Director of Franchise Operations
at Starwood Hotels and Resorts. He joined
Rim Hospitality where he was involved
in all aspects of operations with emphasis
on business and organizational development.
“The launch of Newport Creek Hospitality
is many years in the making," said
Gregg. “The timing is impeccable
with critical partnerships now in place
and incredible opportunities coming our
way", he added. Admired for his ability
to develop significant relationships,
to inspire his team to perform at their
optimal level, coupled with his visionary
planning and passion for the industry,
it will be an understatement to say that
NHC is destined for success.
Gregg's love affair with the industry
began as a Front Desk Clerk at a small
Boutique hotel in Salt Lake City, Utah.
The romance blossomed while he trotted
around the globe and worked his way up
at Interstate Hotels, Grand Heritage Hotels,
Westmont Hospitality, Tarsadia Hotels
and Rim Hospitality. This passionate journey
included working with major brands like
Hyatt, Marriott, Hilton, Sheraton, Holiday
Inn and prestigious independent hotels
such as the famous Sunset Marquis Hotel,
the Mondrian, and the LeParc Hotel in
West Hollywood, and the Horton Grand Hotel
at the famed Gas Lamp Quarter.
Gregg's career continued to flourish while
managing the Pacific Islands Club Resorts
in Guam and Saipan. Also at the Fairways
and Bluewater Resort in Boracay, Philippines,
he and his team hosted the famed Johnnie
Walker Tournament attended by golf legendaries
Nick Faldo, Ian Woosnam, Jesper Parnevik,
Ernie Els, and others.
Gregg earned his CHA (Certified Hotel
Administrator) Certificate through the
American Hotel and Lodging Association
and was a recipient of various scholarships
while studying hotel management at Brigham
Young University in Hawaii. Beyond the
hotel walls, he is a spark of light in
his community as an active Rotarian, a
member of his Church and an appointee
to the Antioch Economic Development commission.
His wife, Joy and their three beautiful
children bring endless joy to his life.
As the President/ CEO of the new company,
Newport Creek Hospitality, Gregg proudly
expressed that other hoteliers and international
professionals have enthusiastically joined
him in this endeavor. The celebrated team
brings to NCH over 100 years of proven
experience and expertise in the hotel
industry and corporate environments. Newport
Creek Hospitality will concentrate its
presence in the Pacific Region. Exciting
projects are in the works and announcements
will be made towards the beginning of
the year.
