The Ritz-Carlton Club, the leading fractional ownership brand, recently appointed three new senior directors of sales: Ralph Mottinger located at The Ritz-Carlton Club, Vail in Colo.; Meaghan Richardson at The Ritz-Carlton Club, St. Thomas, in the U.S.V.I.; and Larry Coats at The Abaco Club on Winding Bay, A Ritz-Carlton Managed Club in The Bahamas.
Mottinger is managing sales activities for the latest addition to The Ritz-Carlton Club’s portfolio -– located in one America’s most popular ski destinations. “Ralph’s leadership experience with The Ritz-Carlton Club will be key to our accomplishments in Vail,” said Bruce Rohman, regional vice president of sales for the Western region. “Through his previous sales roles in Hawaii and St. Thomas, he has firmly illustrated his ability to inspire a team.”
Mottinger has enjoyed a diverse career in sales, namely in vacation real estate and pharmaceuticals. Before relocating to St. Thomas, he served as director of sales at The Ritz-Carlton Club and Residences, Kapalua Bay in Maui, Hawaii selling both fractional and wholly-owned residences, as well as other sales roles over the years at Marriott Vacation Club properties in Palm Beach Shores, Fla. and Williamsburg, Va. Prior to his positions with Marriott Vacation Club and The Ritz-Carlton Club, Mottinger worked in the pharmaceutical industry for both Bayer Laboratories and Wyeth Worldwide.
A native of Whiteville, N.C., Mottinger is a graduate of the University of Texas with a Bachelor of Science degree in microbiology. He is moving with his wife, Janet, to the Vail area.
Richardson is now serving as senior director of sales at The Ritz-Carlton Club, St. Thomas. Having started her career with the property as a membership administration coordinator in 2002, Richardson became a fractional ownership membership executive in 2003, followed by subsequent other promotions within the sales organization.
“Meaghan’s proven sales record, combined with her leadership and motivational abilities are essential for our continued success,” said David Short, regional vice president of sales for the East region. “Having grown with the team in St. Thomas, Meaghan holds great insight for this new role.”
A native of St. Thomas, Richardson holds a Bachelor of Business Administration degree from the College of Charleston in Charleston, S.C.
Finally, The Abaco Club selected Coats to lead the sales force at the oceanfront sporting retreat. In this position, Coats is responsible for all real estate, golf and social membership offerings at The Club. “We are delighted to have Larry leading our sales team as we move forward with the vision of the property,” continued Short. “His sales savvy positions him to lead our talented team of membership executives and achieve desired results.”
Coats began his career in 1981 as the chief geologist of Sands American/Geochemical Surveys. He then moved on to the banking sector in 1986 as a commercial loans analyst with Old Kent Bank and Trust in Grand Rapids, Mich. Coats entered the real estate industry in 1988, when he joined Dodgson Realty as a realtor. In 1991, he was hired by Marriott Vacation Club International (MVCI) where he held a variety of sales and marketing roles within the Marriott Vacation Club resort portfolio, including Marriott’s Summit Watch in Park City, Utah; Marriott’s StreamSide in Vail, Colo.; Marriott’s Desert Springs Villas II in Palm Desert, Calif.; and Marriott’s Ko Olina Beach Club in Oahu, Hawaii. Additionally, he served as a membership executive at The Ritz-Carlton Club, Bachelor Gulch where he received top honors by reaching an all-time sales record for any Club location. Later, he was promoted to area director of sales for the Western region.
Furthermore, he worked at Deer Crest Properties based in Deer Valley, Utah as director of sales and marketing, and he led the timeshare sales team at Westin Mission Hills in Rancho Mirage, Calif. as project director.
