With extensive leadership experience in all phases of hospitality business from development, pre-opening, launch and operations in a career spanning over 31 years across world class hospitality entities, I am looking for a senior level position in the business. Presently i am a Senior Consultant & Advisor for Kratos Hospitality.
I have started my career with Taj Group of Hotels, and for the last 23 years, I have been heading operations of medium and large hotels operated by Indian as well as Multinational Hospitality companies. I was working as Chief Operating Officer for Centre Point Hotels & Resorts, which I had to resign from owing to the present Covid-19 situation. I had a short stint as General Manager at Luxury Della Resorts, Lonavala. I worked with Le Royal Meridien Chennai, India, for 2 years as General Manager. Prior to that assignment, I was associated with Four Points by Sheraton (Starwood Group) – Navi Mumbai, Vashi for 8 years, as General Manager and later Vice President & General Manager. My stint with Four Points by Sheraton exposed me to best-in-class hospitality management practices and standards in international settings, having been part of the strategic leadership team in development and conduct of business right from construction, pre-opening, launch and running of operations to success.
Please go through my resume for further information on my qualifications, experience & achievements. I will appreciate an opportunity for a personal and professional dialogue to discuss my strengths and experience vis-à-vis your business priorities and the value I can bring to your business. I am looking forward to hearing from you in the near future.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
