Pritzker, a billionaire heir to the Hyatt Hotels fortune, stepped down from his role Monday as executive chairman of the Hyatt Hotels Corporation, becoming the latest person felled by an association with the disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein.Mr. Pritzker, 75, said in a letter to the Hyatt board that he was retiring, effective immediately, adding: \u201cGood stewardship also means protecting Hyatt, particularly in the context of my association with Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell which I deeply regret.\u201dHe added that he \u201cexercised terrible judgment in maintaining contact with them, and there is no excuse for failing to distance myself sooner.\u201dRecently released files revealed that Mr. Pritzker was in regular contact with Mr. Epstein in the years following Mr. Epstein\u2019s 2008 plea deal on sex crimes charges, with the two frequently corresponding to confirm meals and appointments, including at Mr. Epstein\u2019s Manhattan townhouse.AdvertisementSKIP ADVERTISEMENTIn one email exchange from 2018, Mr. Epstein asked Mr. Pritzker to help his girlfriend, Karyna Shuliak, arrange a trip to Southeast Asia. Mr. Pritzker agreed, and asked what she planned to do there.Ms. Shuliak responded: \u201cGoing to try to find a new girlfriend for Jeffrey.\u201dMr. Pritzker replied with a smiley-face emoticon and said \u201cMay the Force be with you.\u201dIn another exchange, from 2015, as the two made arrangements to meet, Mr. Epstein joked to Mr. Pritzker about combining their plans: \u201cwould you find it amusing to have dali lama meet woody allen for lunch on sat = could be a memorable event.\u201dThe two men also conferred about invitations to the ceremony for the Pritzker Prizes \u2014 a major international architecture award \u2014 in Beijing.A representative for the Pritzker Organization did not respond to a request for comment Monday. Beyond their business interests, members of the Pritzker family are prominent in politics and philanthropy. Thomas Pritzker\u2019s cousins include JB Pritzker, the Democratic governor of Illinois, and Penny Pritzker, who is the head of Harvard University\u2019s governing board and was secretary of commerce during President Barack Obama\u2019s second term. (JB and Penny Pritzker are siblings.)AdvertisementSKIP ADVERTISEMENTIn addition to retiring as chairman, Mr. Pritzker said he would not seek re-election to Hyatt\u2019s board at the annual stockholders meeting in May. The board appointed Hyatt\u2019s president, Mark S. Hoplamazian, to the chairman\u2019s role.\u201cTom\u2019s leadership has been instrumental in shaping Hyatt\u2019s strategy and long-term growth, and we thank him for his service and dedication to Hyatt,\u201d said Richard Tuttle, chair of the board\u2019s nominating and corporate governance committee, in a release.Rebecca Davis O\u2019Brien covers labor and the work force for The Times.See more on: Jeffrey EpsteinShare full articleRelated ContentAdvertisementSKIP ADVERTISEMENT",
