Hon Gordon “Butch” Stewart. Founder, Chairman of the ATL and Sandals Group, marketing maverick and the Caribbean Peer Awards Brand Master for 2010.

Gordon “Butch” Stewart began his career selling air conditioners door-to-door, and, in 1968, founded Appliance Traders Limited, a booming appliance business still in operation today in Kingston, Jamaica. In 1981, with no hotel experience, the gutsy maverick invested in a rundown hotel next to an airport runway in Montego Bay, Jamaica. Today, that hotel is part of Sandals Resorts, one of the Caribbean’s swankiest hotel chains and one of the travel industry’s most recognized worldwide brands.
