Hilton Worldwide, a leading luxury hospitality company, has appointed Kamel Ajami as vice president of operations for Saudi Arabia.   

Bringing a wealth of industry experience spanning 35 years, Ajami takes the helm of Hilton Worldwide’s fast growing presence in Saudi Arabia. The company is currently present with its Waldorf Astoria, Hilton, DoubleTree and Hilton Garden Inn brands – featuring a portfolio of eight trading properties and a pipeline of nearly 30 hotels currently under development.

“Saudi Arabia’s hospitality sector is going through an exciting period with a number of new government initiatives in place to boost travel and tourism across the kingdom,” said Ajami. “I am delighted to be embarking on this new position in the company and I look forward to working with the significant talent within our ranks as we continue to build our presence.”

A graduate of Hotel Management Administration in the UK and Cornell University’s Hilton Worldwide GM Excellence programme, Ajami first joined Hilton Worldwide in 2000, taking general managerial positions at Hilton Sharm Waterfalls Resort; Hilton Abu Dhabi; and Hilton Hurghada Long Beach Resort.

In 2012, Ajami was promoted to country manager for Jordan, before having his responsibilities expanded to include Lebanon. – TradeArabia News Service
