Jason T. Liberty has been the CEO of Royal Caribbean Group since January 2022. Born on June 1, 1975, he studied finance at the University of Florida and earned an MBA from the University of Michigan. He joined Royal Caribbean in 2005 and climbed the ranks quickly, holding key positions such as Chief Financial Officer and Executive Vice President. Under his leadership, the company focused on several critical metrics, including adjusted earnings per share and carbon intensity reduction, aligning with global sustainability goals. In 2023, Liberty's total compensation reached $17.2 million, consisting of a salary of $1.25 million, a bonus tied to performance achievements, and significant stock options set to vest based on long-term performance metrics. He has also actively participated in insider trading, with noted purchases and sales amounting to impressive values over the years, especially peaking at $18.2 million in early 2024. Liberty’s hands-on approach and strategic vision have been pivotal in shaping the company's direction, especially as it emerges from recent challenges in the cruise industry.
