UK's Millennium & Copthorne Hotels group CEO Jennifer Fox has exited the company after just three months after taking over.
Fox and Millennium & Copthorne "have mutually agreed" she will leave with immediate effect, the company said in a statement. However, reports suggest there was a difference of opinion between her and the chairman and majority owner.
She will be replaced by Tan Kian Seng Millennium & Copthorne Hotels’ group chief of staff as interim CEO.
