John Vasatka will take over as CEO this month for the Ani Villas’ collection of private resorts in Anguilla, Sri Lanka and Thailand, as well as a fourth property due to open later next month in the Dominican Republic.
Vasatka has worked with upscale luxury hotels for nearly two decades, including 12 years as general manager at various Aman Resorts’ locations in the Caribbean, the Middle East, Sri Lanka and Thailand.
His most recent position was general manager at the Malliouhana, an Auberge resort on Anguilla. He will continue to be based there.
In the wake of Vasatka’s appointment, outgoing CEO Ira Bloom will focus on acquisition and management of the assets of the group as owner’s representative for its principal Tim Reynolds, who parted company from Jane Street Capital some years ago to focus on the development of Ani Villas and its philanthropic effort, the Ani Art Academies.
