Sir David is currently Chairman of the Board’s Remuneration Committee and he will be succeeded in that role by one of IHG’s existing Non-Executive Directors, Ralph Kugler. Mr Kugler previously served on IHG’s Remuneration Committee from 2003 until May 2005.
David Webster, Chairman of IHG, said: “Both Robert Larson and Sir David Prosser have given outstanding service to IHG and their wise counsel and support will be greatly missed”.
