UMusic Hospitality & Lifestyle today announced the appointment of David Kuperberg to its leadership team. Bringing more than two decades of experience in hospitality growth strategy and lifestyle brand expansion, Kuperberg will play a key role in advancing the company’s next phase of global development.
In his role, Kuperberg will lead the company’s development strategy and support expansion efforts across North America, working to grow UMusic Hospitality & Lifestyle’s portfolio and strengthen its presence in key markets.
Kuperberg joins the team from Hyatt, where he played a key role in the continued growth of the company’s lifestyle portfolio following Hyatt’s acquisition of Dream Hotel Group in February 2023. Prior to the acquisition, he served as Chief Development Officer for Dream Hotel Group, where he led the company’s development strategy and helped expand the brand’s global footprint.
Earlier in his career, Kuperberg served as Senior Vice President of Development at Virgin Hotels, where he helped guide the brand’s development pipeline during its early expansion. He began his hospitality career in 2004 as Senior Director of Mergers & Acquisitions at Wyndham Hotel Group, where he oversaw the acquisition of Ramada International from Marriott, a transaction that included more than 200 hotels and resorts worldwide and helped establish the company’s international growth strategy.
Looking ahead, Kuperberg will work alongside leadership and development partners to provide strategic guidance as the company continues exploring opportunities in key markets.
