ORLANDO, Fla., June 16, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Westgate Resorts today announced the appointment of Angel Miranda as its new Chief Information Officer (CIO). Miranda brings over 25 years of technology leadership to the role. He has been serving as the company’s Interim CIO since the beginning of the year.
Since joining Westgate Resorts in 2013, Miranda has played a pivotal role in transforming the company’s technology landscape. His rapid rise through the organization—from engineer to CIO—underscores his exceptional leadership and vision.
Miranda, a first-generation Cuban American born in Jersey City, New Jersey, and raised in Miami, brings a diverse history of technology leadership to the role.

As CIO, Miranda oversees a team of more than 120 professionals and leads the company’s enterprise IT strategy, operations, cybersecurity, infrastructure, and guest technology innovation. He has spearheaded numerous high-impact initiatives, including the integration of the IT systems from Westgate’s recent acquisition of VI Resorts and the launch of AI-powered customer service solutions.
Miranda’s leadership will continue to shape Westgate’s digital future, with a focus on modernization, guest personalization, and operational efficiency. He is based at the company’s headquarters in Orlando.
