SANTA ROSA, Calif., Jan. 28, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Foley Entertainment Group Chairman Bill Foley announced today the appointment of Shane Green as Chief Executive Officer of Foley Entertainment Group (FEG). In this role, Green will oversee business operations for FEG's global portfolio of sports and hospitality entities, including FEG's luxury hotel collection boasting the acclaimed MacArthur Place and Farmhouse Inn in Sonoma County, Hotel Les Mars in nearby Healdsburg, and the iconic Hotel Californian in Santa Barbara, alongside an array of other distinguished sports teams, resorts, restaurants, and vineyards across the globe.  Green will direct the overall business strategy for FEG, which, under his leadership, will undergo a brand transformation during the 2025 calendar year.

This extensive background has shaped Green's unique approach to hospitality and business success, evident in his global training and consulting company, SGEi, and his book Culture Hacker. Both have inspired significant customer experience transformations that are emulated worldwide.

"Working with Bill to build a world-class hospitality organization is an endeavor I've been preparing for throughout my career," said Foley Entertainment Group's new CEO Shane Green.

My goal is to create even more unforgettable moments for discerning travelers around the world, while delivering a superior level of service to each guest."
