Hotel General Manager with over 20 years of international experience in managing luxury, boutique, and global brand hotels. Recognized for my dynamic, results-driven leadership, I have held key roles in markets such as Bahrain, Sri Lanka, Singapore, Dubai, and the United Kingdom.

Currently leading a cluster of five 5-star luxury resorts in Bahrain, I successfully oversee pre-opening phases and position the properties as market leaders in both quality and financial performance.

With a solid academic background in Hospitality Management from the University of Salford in the UK and fluency in four languages, I am a versatile and visionary professional. My career is marked by achievements such as increased profitability, significant improvements in guest satisfaction, and leadership in prestigious events like the ASEAN Summit and the Trump-Kim meeting. Beyond my operational expertise, I stand out for my ability to create inclusive and innovative environments, driving excellence in the global hospitality industry.
