The Company is conducting a search for his successor. Mr. Terry plans to stay on as CFO until the role has been filled and the transition period is complete later this year.
“I want to thank Tony for his contributions over the last 27 years at the Company,” said John Geller, president and chief executive officer. “His leadership has been critical during the most significant milestones in our growth thus far and his guidance through some of the toughest times for the travel industry was critical. While we respect his personal decision to step away from his professional career and enter retirement to spend more time with his family, we will sincerely miss him as a long-standing member of our leadership team.”
Over the course of his time with Marriott Vacations Worldwide, Mr. Terry led work associated with the spin-off of the Company from Marriott International in 2011.

I look forward to watching this great Company continue to grow and offer our associates the same opportunities I was given professionally and personally.”
Mr. Terry began his career in 1996 as a Manager, Financial Accounting for Marriott Vacation Club International, and was quickly promoted to roles with oversight of financial and business planning functions, new product development, brand management and product supply management. He then went on to serve as Senior Vice President of Global Operational Finance for Vacation Ownership, where he led a global team responsible for all aspects of Finance and Accounting in support of the Company’s Sales and Marketing, Operations, Development, and Rentals organizations within the segment. Mr. Terry was promoted to Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer in October 2021.
Mr. Terry’s retirement is not the result of a disagreement between Mr. Terry and the Company on any matter relating to the Company’s operations, policies or practices.
