Plano, Texas-based Aimbridge Hospitality, the world's largest third-party hotel management company, has tapped industry veteran Mark Chloupek as chief legal officer.

Chloupek succeeds Greg Moundas, who stepped down this month after nearly a decade as legal chief. He did not immediately respond to a LinkedIn message seeking comment.

Chloupek brings 23 years of experience in hospitality. He most recently was executive vice president, secretary and general counsel of CorePoint Lodging, which owns hundreds of La Quinta hotel properties.

Before CorePoint, Chloupek was executive vice president, secretary and general counsel of La Quinta, which separated its real estate from its lodging operations by spinning off CorePoint in a 2018 initial public offering.
