15+ years’ success in leading business restructuring, crisis management and generating revenue for hotel brands, such as Marriott International, Intercontinental Hotels Group, Dusit Hotels & Resorts, Hospitality Management Holding Group and branded five- star hotels within senior management capacity.
An avid enthusiast for the hospitality industry, I have a track record spanning more than 24-years of positions in the field of revenue management, operations strategic planning, business turnaround, pre/re-opening & conversion in major international markets.
I have worked with all forms of stakeholders from private owners and independent properties, to international chain properties and food and beverage outlets. I have managed and led numerous hotel openings as well as rebrands, conversions and takeovers with both branded and standalone hotels.
My passion for F&B helped me create entertainment concepts that entice crowds even in a market as competitive as Dubai. I understand impeccable service and high-end food and beverage like few others, having learnt at the feet of masters at the Le Relais et Chateaux, Salmontni, and other boutique establishments. Nor I am a stranger to casual dining and nightlife, given that I was tasked with introducing authentic new concepts to a busy hospitality scene such as: Donatello Restaurant and Lounge- an upscale Italian restaurant in the World Trade Centre, Scarlet Cardinal- Sofitel, JBR, Dubai, Red Hot & Chili, and many others.
