SKANEATELES  —  Mirbeau Management Co. LLC has snagged a Syracuse native from a job in North Carolina to be its president — but he’ll be living in Massachusetts.

Mirbeau, which operates the Mirbeau Inn & Spa in Skaneateles, hired Tom Abbott as its president. Abbott had been CFO of The Grove Park Inn Resort & Spa in Asheville, N.C. since 2005.

He will live in Plymouth, Mass. to oversee the opening of a new Mirbeau Inn & Spa branch slated to open there. It will be called the Mirbeau Inn & Spa at The Pinehills and is scheduled to open in the spring of 2014.

“We are pleased to have Tom on board to help us with asset management of the growing number of Mirbeau properties,” Gary Dower, a founder of the Mirbeau Management Co. who is its principal owner, said in a news release. “His expertise and experience in the hospitality industry will be a substantial benefit to our organization during this period of growth and success.”

Abbott has 20 years of experience in the hospitality sector. Before working at The Grove Park Inn Resort & Spa, which generates more than $75 million in revenue annually, he was director of finance at The Lodge at Rancho Mirage in Rancho Mirage, Calif. Abbott’s résumé also includes stints as the vice president of finance for The Homestead in Hot Springs, Va. and Barton Creek Club & Resort in Austin, Texas, regional controller for ClubCorp International, and corporate controller at Stratton Mountain Resort in Stratton Mountain, Vt.
