McDiarmid will drive strategic marketing and innovation across the region’s 47 hotels, encompassing 16 brands in six countries within the ANZP region, future proofing Marriott’s position as the world’s largest hotel company.
With a focus on enriching communities and expanding to new destinations, McDiarmid’s strategy will drive brand awareness, market share, revenue, and profit within the region.
Pivotal to success will be harnessing the power of world leading hotel loyalty program, Marriott Bonvoy, inspiring the 200+ million global members to visit the ANZP region, while amplifying high profile event partnerships in the market.

McDiarmid says; “I look forward to fostering a culture of collaboration and innovation within the team, aiming to contribute to Marriott’s vision as the world’s favourite travel company with a focus on enriching communities and expanding presence in new destinations. By embodying innovation and adapting to change, we are well poised to further elevate our position as one of the region’s biggest players in hospitality,”.

Her decade-long tenure with Starwood Hotels and Resorts saw McDiarmid take on roles including Multi-Brand Director of Marketing Communications and Property Director of Sales & Marketing before joining Marriott as National Director of Marketing (2011-2014), recently returning to Sydney for the Area Director role.
