Susan Santiago has been appointed as senior VP of Miraval Resorts by Hyatt Corporation.

Santiago will be responsible for overseeing all aspects of the business, including structure, development, strategy and operations. She’ll also be responsible for Miraval’s expansion beginning with Miraval Berkshires opening in May 2020.

“Miraval’s mission to better guest’s lives through holistic wellness is something I’ve long admired and sought to achieve in my own life,” said Santiago.

“I’m confident our team will continue to push boundaries in the wellness industry, with the powerful combination of Miraval’s mindfulness philosophy and Hyatt’s purpose – we care for people so they can be their best.”
