Frank Santos
Rosen Hotels & Resorts has named Frank Santos as its new CEO. Santos succeeds Harris Rosen, founder and president, who recently passed away at the age of 85. Santos was first recruited by Harris Rosen to become the organization’s CFO, a job he started in 1986 and held for nearly 39 years. Santos later added vice president to his title as he worked alongside Rosen to grow Rosen Hotels & Resorts, as well as the Tangelo Park and Parramore programs that provide children in underserved communities with free preschool, in addition to college and vocational scholarships. Santos also helped Rosen build RosenCare, a comprehensive healthcare program for associates; the UCF Rosen College of Hospitality Management; the Adam Michael Rosen Foundation; and saved what is now the Rosen Aquatic & Fitness Center twice from shutting down.
