The Ritz-Carlton, Half Moon Bay announced on Thursday that David Sobek is joining the resort as its new director of sales and marketing.

Sobek comes to the resort from Scottsdale’s The Phoenician, where he served as director of sales since November 2021. His prior experience includes time as director of sales and marketing at The Camby Hotel, an Autograph Collection property in Scottsdale, and various sales leadership roles in the Phoenix area with Marriott and Starwood.

Sobek joins the Ritz-Carlton, Half Moon Bay team as the property prepares for its seasonal celebrations, including its popular Pumpkin Season, and gears up to host attendees of the FIFA World Cup 2026 and Super Bowl LX in February 2026.

“I’m excited to join The Ritz-Carlton, Half Moon Bay, where our team delivers exceptional service in a stunning oceanside setting that captures the essence of the California coast,” said David Sobek. “With world-class business and leisure offerings and our reputation as Northern California’s premier coastal destination, we’re uniquely positioned to create memorable experiences and be a leader in the market.”
