Marriott’s CFO Leeny Oberg to Retire, C-Suite Transition Announced

With Leeny Oberg retiring after 26 years with the company, Marriott is leaning on internal veterans to maintain strategic momentum without rocking the boat.

Leeny Oberg, the longtime finance executive who helped steer Marriott International through major transformations, including its merger with Starwood and the Covid-19 pandemic, will retire on March 31, 2026, the company said Monday.

Oberg, 65, joined Marriott in 1999 and became chief financial officer (CFO) in 2016. In 2023, she was also put in charge of global development, overseeing the company’s expansion strategy.

She will step down as CFO following the filing of Marriott’s 2025 annual report and remain with the company through March 2026 to assist with the leadership transition
