“For Leer, who previously served as President and CEO of AlerisLife, the senior living business of The RMR Group, stepping into the role offered a unique opportunity to experience the product he manages firsthand ‘Coming from senior living, the biggest difference is that I can actually be a customer of our own product,’ he said. ‘In senior living, I couldn’t be a resident. Here, I can be much closer to the value we create through our hotels every single day. I can experience what our guests experience and provide direct, real-time feedback.”

Jeff Leer Co-CEO
