Marriott International Chief Executive Officer Arne Sorenson, who was undergoing treatment for pancreatic cancer, has died, the company said on Tuesday.

The first non-family member to head the hotel chain, Sorenson, 62, had earlier this month stepped back from full-time role to treat cancer that was diagnosed in 2019.
