Chedi Hospitality promotes Aditya Jain as chief development officer

Places strategic responsibility among other things at the forefront

Chedi Hospitality has promoted Aditya Jain to chief development officer, having played a "central role" in its development in recent years.

The promotion marks a defining moment in the evolution of the international hospitality group and underscores its commitment to growth guided by conviction, selectivity, and long-term brand stewardship.

He has held various senior positions, in which he worked with the executive team and was "instrumental in structuring and securing strategically significant hotel and residential partnerships" across Asia, EMEA, and the GCC. 

His work has shaped the brand’s selective development strategy and strengthened its positioning in key international markets.

He was responsible for establishment of The Chedi Private Residences as a standalone business vertical. 

Jain expanded the development strategy through new business areas and market access, multiplying the Chedi brand platform across a range of typologies, including hotels, resorts, branded residences, heritage properties, and slow-living destinations.

As chief development officer, Jain will now oversee the entire global development strategy of Chedi Hospitality across hotels, resorts, and branded residences. 

A particular focus will be on the strategic return of the brand to the US market, which holds historical significance for Chedi Hospitality, as well as on the continued strengthening of the core regions of Asia and EMEA. 

Under his leadership, development will continue to follow clearly defined principles: creating culturally grounded legacies, collaborating with visionary partners, and safeguarding long-term brand integrity. 

“This promotion reflects our commitment to evolving perspectives while consistently safeguarding the integrity of the brand,” said Stephan Schupbach, president & group chief executive officer.

“Aditya has played a decisive role in securing key strategic partnerships and in establishing the Chedi Private Residences as a standalone development field. 

"In his new role, he will also take responsibility for the further international positioning of the brand, including our strategic return to the US market.”

Jain added: “Chedi Hospitality is committed to ideas that are meaningful, relevant, and enduring. 

"Development, for me, means taking responsibility of the brand expansion as well as taking responsibility for our partners and for the context of each project. 

"Together, we aim to create projects that are culturally grounded and deliver value over the long term.”
