The company has appointed insider Jen Mason as Oberg's successor.

Oberg has been Marriott's CFO since 2016, helping navigate the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic and spearheading its cost initiatives. Her retirement would be effective March 31, 2026.

Mason joined Marriott in 1992 and currently serves as the global officer, treasurer and risk management. Since joining the company, she has held several leadership roles, including as CFO for its U.S. and Canada division.

Marriott also appointed Shawn Hill as its chief development officer, effective January 1, 2026.
