Trendwest Resorts

Donald Harrill was hired as president and CEO of Redmond-based Trendwest Resorts, replacing Jeff Sites, who left after a short term in that post. Sites worked for the time-share company since 1989. Harrill worked for 20 years at Hilton Hotels Corp. He was also CEO of Hilton Grand Vacations Co. from 1995 to 2000. Most recently, he was principal and president of Florida Marine & Resort Developers Inc. of Clearwater, Fla.

Trendwest is owned by Cendant Corp. of Parsippany, N.J. Cendant's timeshare division is the largest timeshare operator in the world.

In another Trendwest top management change, Al Schriber, executive vice president of administration, will leave to pursue other opportunities. A replacement won't be named. A third top executive, Timothy O'Neil, left as chief financial officer earlier this year.

Trendwest promoted operations executive vice president Gene Hensley to chief operating officer. Hensley is a 14-year veteran of the company and will continue overseeing sales and marketing.

Cendant Timeshare Resort Group President and CEO Jack McConnell said Trendwest will continue "to aggressively expand into new regions and marketplaces." Trendwest operates 48 WorldMark resorts in the United States, British Columbia, Mexico and Fiji.
