Jeremy McCarthy, industry veteran and Spa Business contributing editor, has been promoted from Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group’s (MOHG) group director spa to a new role.
Now serving as the operator’s group director of leisure, spa and wellness, McCarthy is one of the spa industry's thought leaders and most popular figures.
He began his tenure with MOHG back in 2014 following eight years as director of global spa development and operations at Starwood Hotel and Resorts.
Prior to this, McCarthy spent 14 years as a director of spa at Four Seasons in various global locations. He is also the author of The Psychology of Spas & Wellbeing.
In the most recent issue of Spa Business, McCarthy explored the challenges of teaching leadership skills in the industry.
In the upcoming issue, his column feature will dig into how experiences in the hospitality industry have evolved from spa to wellness and now leisure.
“At the beginning of my career, there was a lot of debate about whether spa was important at all,” he said, “But once spa was accepted, the industry began to ask what else it could offer guests beyond spa.
“Now we're living in the age of the #wellnesseverywhere consumer. These customers are not content to carve out limited time in their life for wellness, they want it everywhere they go. They want it at work, at home and when they travel.”
