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.

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. Through his experience, Kennedy has been successful in leading the industry’s first e-commerce solutions at Hilton and Wyndham, and the development of the Global Hotel Alliance website with booking and loyalty capabilities to support 14 worldwide hotel brands in 52 countries.
