Steven J. Heyer, CEO, said Starwood is focusing on increasing their margins through productivity initiatives and developing strong brands with their large portfolio of hotel, which cover multiple market segments.
Heyer explained that the plans to sell $2-$4 billion of assets in the next twelve months will represent assets which do not fit their ‘strategic criteria’.
