Wheatley joins The Doyle Collection from the National Theatre, where he held the role of head of data and insight since 2021.

Prior to the National Theatre, Wheatley spent eight years at Kantar, initially at Lightspeed.

The Doyle Collection is a group of eight Irish family-owned luxury and urban hotels located in London, Dublin, Washington DC, Cork and Bristol.

In his new role, Wheatley will be responsible for driving the company’s customer-centric strategy through insights and analysis, and for leading the development and execution of the customer insights and data strategy for The Doyle Collection group.

Wheatley said: "I am hugely proud of the great achievements we have made at The National Theatre over the last two and a half years. We have emerged from a period of existential threat stronger than ever before and I feel incredibly fortunate to have worked with the uniquely talented and passionate people who have made this a reality. 

"I am incredibly excited to announce that I will be joining Anna Abbott [chief marketing officer] and the inspiring team at The Doyle Collection to bring my skills and experiences to bear in their insights and data journey."
