Wellness destination resort Canyon Ranch has appointed four new executives to its team. Doris Lopez, who comes to Canyon Ranch with 20 years of experience leading healthcare facilities, has joined the company as vice president of health and healing, a newly created position.

In this new role, Lopez will help to develop and execute health and healing strategies, oversee the development of new programming, execute business development opportunities, and help as the brand continues to incorporate technology into clinical experiences.

Canyon Ranch has also appointed Lisa Fisher as director of sales, marketing and communications. Fischer will lead the Tucson sales, marketing and communications team, implementing locally focused and in-market strategies.

Fischer began her career in sales at The Ritz-Carlton, San Francisco, then moved on to become the director of sales for Shangri-La Hotels and Resorts, leading the North America global sales team and supporting the vice president of sales & marketing for North America. Fischer later served as the transition director of sales at HEI.

Kerry Kennedy has been named vice president of digital and innovation, and will lead Canyon Ranch’s digital efforts and strategies, working closely with the sales, marketing and communications teams.

Kennedy has experience leading the digital efforts for Southwest Airlines, Omni Hotels, Wyndham Hotels, and Hilton Hotels.
