In her new role, she will oversee the company's 88 hotels across 27 brands, totaling 11,173 rooms in 23 states and Washington, DC, Peachtree said in a statement.

Peachtree is led by Friedman, Jatin Desai as managing principal and CFO, and Mitul Patel as principal.

Callahan, a 25-year hospitality veteran, previously served as vice president of revenue management at Atrium Hospitality and JQH Hotels, where she developed a multi-branded revenue management platform, the statement said.
