Randy Shimabuku has been appointed General Manager of Four Seasons Resorts Bali. Shimabuku takes the leadership of Four Season’s two resorts in the province at Jimbaran Bay and Sayan at a critical time, as the destination reopens to the world. The Bali resorts have also unveiled a brand new spa, a new culinary team, and immersive experiences showcaing the island’s vibrant culture and diverse landscapes. “As a leader, you have to be inspired and enriched in order to enrich others,” Shimabuku said. “There’s so much inspiration in Bali, I feel like a kid again. I want to soak it all in and learn about their culture, their foods, their traditions - that sense of community is as important to our company culture as it is to the guest experience.”
