Exclusive Resorts Appoints Two New Board Members
Geoffroy van Raemdonck and Jeff Wong join the board as the private club expands its branded residential offerings and investments in best-in-class technology.
Exclusive Resorts, the members-only club catering to ultra-high-net-worth individuals, has named two seasoned executives to its board of directors: Geoffroy van Raemdonck, former Chief Executive Officer of Neiman Marcus Group, and Jeff Wong, former Global Chief Innovation Officer at Ernst & Young.
The appointments come at a pivotal moment for the company, as it continues its transition from a private club focused on luxury travel to a fully integrated lifestyle platform — uniting real estate, hospitality, and community into a single, service-driven offering designed to help affluent families live richer, fuller, and more meaningful lives. Both van Raemdonck and Wong bring significant experience leading global business transformations, including mergers and acquisitions, expertise that will support Exclusive Resorts’ ongoing expansion.
Mr. van Raemdonck brings deep expertise in global luxury consumer engagement, having led Neiman Marcus through a multi-year transformation focused on digital innovation, customer personalization, and brand elevation. His background includes senior leadership roles at Ralph Lauren and Louis Vuitton, where he helped shape the modern luxury retail experience. His appointment signals The Club’s focus on further expanding offerings to serve a more discerning tier of clientele who expect deeply tailored service, privacy, and access to a community of peers.
Mr. Wong, a global leader in emerging technology and business transformation, oversaw Ernst & Young’s innovation strategy. Prior to joining EY, he held leadership roles at eBay, where he focused on corporate strategy and global expansion. His appointment underscores Exclusive Resorts’ continued investment in technology as a strategic differentiator — most recently demonstrated by the launch of its best-in-class Member Portal and the ongoing development of a proprietary large language model (LLM) designed to further personalize and elevate the end-to-end Member experience.
“As we continue to evolve, we are building a board and leadership team that reflects the full breadth of our ambitions,” says James Henderson, CEO of Exclusive Resorts. “Geoffroy understands how to create meaningful, lasting connections between luxury brands and discerning clientele. Jeff brings a bold vision on how technology will shape the future of the consumer experience. Together, they will help guide our next chapter of growth.”
Founded in 2002, Exclusive Resorts operates a $1 billion real estate portfolio across more than 75 destinations worldwide. The company is majority owned by AOL co-founder and Revolution Chairman and CEO Steve Case, who also serves as chairman of the Board. Its board includes industry leaders such as Carolyn Kremins, President of Skift; Frank Raines, former Chairman and CEO of Fannie Mae; Glyn Aeppel, President and CEO of Glencove Capital; Thomas Gottlieb, formerly Founder & Managing General Partner at Geolo Capital and current Chairman at The Ranch Malibu; and John Delaney, Chairman of Forbright Bank and former US Congressman.
