Sage Hospitality Group has announced the appointment of Daniel del Olmo as president and CEO. Del Olmo becomes Sage’s third CEO, succeeding co-founders Zack Neumeyer and Walter Isenberg, who each served as CEO since the company’s founding in 1984.
Del Olmo joined Sage in early 2020 and has since assumed increasing responsibility across the company. Most recently, he served as Co-CEO alongside Isenberg, leading enterprise strategy, performance, operations and owner relations across Sage’s hotel and restaurant portfolio.

“Daniel has earned this role,” said Isenberg. “Over the past six years, he has demonstrated the leadership discipline, financial rigor and cultural alignment necessary to guide Sage into its next chapter. He understands who we are, what we stand for and how we create value for our partners. I have complete confidence in his leadership.”
As part of the leadership transition, Isenberg will assume the role of executive chairman of the Board, remaining engaged in culture, strategy and growth.
“It is an honor to lead Sage into its next chapter,” said del Olmo. “What makes this company exceptional is not only what we build, but the people who bring those experiences to life every day. Our associates are the heart of Sage. Their creativity, discipline and dedication to excellence are what differentiate us. As we grow, my commitment is to continue investing in our talent, delivering industry-leading results, deepening owner partnerships and evolving how we deliver experiences that matter. When we invest in our people and remain grounded in purpose, performance follows.”
Co-founder and chairman of the Board, Zack Neumeyer, will assume the role of chairman emeritus and vice chairman of the Board. “This transition reflects years of disciplined planning and leadership development,” Neumeyer said. “Daniel has earned the trust of the Board, our partners and our teams. Sage was built to endure beyond any one individual, and this moment reflects the strength of our culture, our strategy and our leadership bench. As co-founders, Walter and I built Sage on the belief that hospitality can enrich lives and that foundation remains firmly in place as we enter this next chapter.”
