Marriott Vacations Worldwide Corporation announced that, after nearly 20 years with the Company, Executive Vice President and General Counsel, James Hunter ("Jim") will transition from his role on March 9, 2026 and retire on April 1, 2026.
Hunter began his in-house legal career at Marriott International Inc. ("Marriott") in 1994, supporting global development and expansion initiatives. After leading legal support for Marriott?s growth across Asia-Pacific, he relocated to Orlando in 2006 to lead the Law Department of Marriott Vacation Club International, overseeing significant expansion and the launch of the Marriott Vacation Club Destinations points product. He subsequently played a key role in the 2011 spin-off that formed Marriott Vacations Worldwide Corporation and later led legal support for MVW?s merger with ILG in 2018. Throughout his tenure, Hunter was known for building and developing high-performing teams, with several former team members advancing to general counsel roles at other organizations. Hunter has also been a longstanding leader within the vacation ownership industry, including serving as a principal architect of the current Code of Ethics of the American Resort Development Association ("ARDA") and chair of the ARDA General Counsel Council. In addition, as part of his continued community involvement, Hunter will assume the role of president of Florida Citrus Sports in April 2026. Hunter will remain with MVW in an advisory role through April 1, 2026 to assist with the transition.
