Journey

During the course of my career, I have been fortunate enough to have enjoyed success across various segments of our industry, but my proudest achievement – and, hopefully, my legacy – is having co-founded TIME Hotels Management (TIME Hotels).

Established in 2012, TIME Hotels has grown immensely over the course of the past decade. I have had the joy of watching the business expand to encompass more than 17 properties, comprising a total of 1,946 keys across the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region. I am also immensely proud to have supported the development of our four sub-brands, which include TIME Hotels & Resorts, TIME Hotel Apartments, TIME Express Hotels and TIME Residence Properties.

It has been my privilege to lead TIME Hotels for the past 10 years as Chief Executive Officer. While overseeing brand development and ensuring that it is well positioned in the market, I have witnessed TIME Hotels’ transition into a Middle East success story first-hand. I am also confident that this legacy will continue, thanks to the expansion and diversification of our brand portfolio. We feel now is the time to pursue further growth – both regionally and internationally – in order to secure the company's long-term success.

Values

I have identified four core values by which I live my life, and which I encourage others to embody at every level of our organization. Firstly, I have a passion for results. I show pride, enthusiasm and dedication in everything that I do and commit to. Secondly, I believe in teamwork. I invest in my team members because they are the most valuable assets of any organization. Thirdly, I always show respect. My colleagues and I treat our team members, guests, partners and suppliers with mutual respect, recognizing the vital role that diversity has played in TIME Hotels’ success. Finally, I strive to remain positive and, most of all, grateful.

The guest comes first

TIME Hotels is built on a philosophy that puts the guest experience front and center. Our corporate motto, “You Really Matter,” reflects the fact that each of our customers is important to our management company, from our owners and executive team to our front-of-house colleagues. I call this relationship the “triangle of success.” By taking care of our owners’ assets and investing in our talented employees, we are better able to assist and attend to our customers’ requirements and deliver a truly memorable guest experience.
