In 1996, the next-generation Wharton School graduate took part in the successful IPO of Meliá Hotels International, founded by his father, Gabriel Escarrer Juliá. A decade later, after 60 years at the helm of Spain’s leading hotel group, its founder became non- executive chairman, transferring his executive powers to Gabriel with the unanimous support of the board. Gabriel is credited with leading a strong surge in company growth and renewal, especially after the Global Financial Crisis, and for a major technological transformation at the firm. Meliá posted revenues of €1.88 billion ($2.26 billion) in 2017 with net profits leaping 28% to €129 million.
