MINNEAPOLIS, MN. November 21, 2016 - Carlson Rezidor Hotel Group, one of the world's largest and most dynamic hotel groups, today announced David Oliver vice president of Development for Canada. Oliver will lead the group's key strategic growth initiatives across all brands and will be responsible for the development of management contracts as well as license agreements in the region.

Oliver returns to Carlson Rezidor, having previously served on the development team from 2003 to 2009.

Radisson RED is a new hotel philosophy and lifestyle brand inspired by art, music and fashion. The brand offers developers and property owners a lower per-key cost than a traditional upscale hotel, through a multi-functional approach and more efficient space planning, which significantly reduce construction and operating costs, while driving higher margins.
In addition to Radisson RED, Oliver will work to introduce Radisson Blu® to the region and expand the footprints of Radisson®, Park Inn® by Radisson Country Inns & Suites By CarlsonSM.
