About

Luxury Hospitality Executive | Hotel Openings | Asset Optimization | Guest Experience StrategistI am a hospitality leader passionate about creating exceptional guest experiences while driving profitability, asset value, and long-term brand positioning.With international leadership experience across North America and the Middle East, and having traveled to more than 30 countries, I bring a global perspective to luxury hospitality, lifestyle branding, operations, and community building. Throughout my career, I have led successful hotel openings, repositioned luxury assets, and built high-performing teams recognized for service excellence with international hotel chains, Marriott, Wyndham and more. In Montreal, I contributed to the opening of both the city’s first lifestyle luxury property and one of its landmark hotels, helping strengthen Montreal’s position as an international luxury destination. Previously, in Kuwait, I successfully repositioned Marina Hotel as one of the country’s leading boutique luxury hotels. Under the Worldhotels™ brand, the hotel received the Global Award for highest guest satisfaction among more than 500 luxury hotels worldwide. My work in hospitality and international relations also earned me an honorary recognition from the Italian government.Beyond operations, I am deeply committed to leadership development and mentorship. Several leaders I mentored successfully advanced into General Manager positions, a legacy I consider among my greatest professional achievements.I believe today’s hospitality leaders must combine operational excellence with emotional intelligence, cultural awareness, adaptability, and vision. Luxury is no longer defined only by product — it is defined by memorable experiences, authentic connections, and meaningful service.
