In my recent role, I successfully led the Deflag process, ensuring 100% transmission efficiency from the former management to SHIRVAN Hotel. This contributed significantly to maintaining the property's reputation and resulted in a year-over-year growth of 26% in topline revenue and an 18% reduction in bottom-line costs compared to the previous year.
Additionally, I maintained a high score on guest satisfaction Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) by focusing on enhancing guest experiences. I conducted frequent training sessions for teams in the front office, housekeeping, and sales departments to ensure a consistent level of service excellence.
Moreover, I established committed partnerships with prominent projects in Saudi Arabia such as NEOM, RSG, Diriyah Biennale, and Qiddiya, further solidifying SHIRVAN Hotel's presence and involvement in major initiatives in the region.
