He (Gordon “Butch” Stewart – Chairman of Sandals Resorts International) is a very hands-on chairman. He relinquished a lot of authority…but he is an inspirational leader (who) at the tender age of 74 still gets up every day and puts in an 18-hour day, truly leading from the front. What inspires me and our team about him is his ability to still understand consumers at every level, including millennials. To be able to size them up and figure out what they want. He is as potent as probably he has ever been.” – Adam Stewart, CEO, Sandals Resorts International
