Marriott International's president and CEO Arne Sorenson died Monday following a nearly two-year battle with pancreatic cancer, the hotel chain announced Tuesday.
The company announced two weeks ago that Sorenson was reducing his work schedule to continue cancer treatment, though it called his death "unexpected" in Tuesday's press release. Sorenson was diagnosed with stage 2 pancreatic cancer In May 2019. J.W. Marriott, Jr., the company's executive chairman, said in a statement Tuesday that Sorenson was an "exceptional executive, but more than that, he was an exceptional human being."More Related News
