Doha, Qatar
With 20 years of experience in hotel development and operations, I bring deep expertise across all phases of the hospitality lifecycle, including pre-opening activities, project implementation, management, procurement, fit-out, MEP, and logistics. I also worked as Director of Sales for the pre-opening team at Bavaria Hotels in Qatar, gaining valuable insight into market positioning and commercial strategy. Prior to founding Hotel Supply Middle East, I spent eight years as Director of Procurement for a leading Dubai-based FF&E, OS&E, and fit-out contractor.
