Before joining the company, Pricher was vice president and associate general counsel for Financial American Corporation, a real estate-focused private equity firm.
Cuculic says in a statement: ‘Jay is a strategic leader who has a deep understanding of our unique organizational structure and the needs of our hoteliers. He has a proven track record of supporting our members and hoteliers across a variety of legal issues related to international operations, intellectual property matters and business litigation. I have great confidence that Jay will continue to deliver exceptional leadership as he takes on this expanded role.’
