DOHA, December 11, 2016

Marriott International, a leading hospitality company, has appointed Yasmine Shaker as the new director of human resources at its Qatar property Marriott Marquis City Center Doha Hotel.

In her new role, Shaker will be overlooking a total of 632 associates and managers working on the 577-room hotel from 52 different nationalities including the direct management of 16 members as part of the human resources department.

An industry veteran, Shaker joins the hotel with over 24 years of hospitality experience.

Originally from Cairo, Egypt, she was raised in Paris, France for seven years before moving back to her home country.

She started her hospitality career as public relations manager at Le Meridien Heliopolis Hotel in Cairo and has moved her way until she joined Marriott International as the Public Relations Manager in 1998 at the Cairo Marriott Hotel & Omar Khayyam Casino, one of the biggest Marriott hotels worldwide with 1087 rooms.

At the Cairo Marriott Hotel, Yasmine created the “the Palace” identity, positioning the hotel as the historic palace that was initially built for Empress Eugenie for the celebrations of the 1869 Suez Canal inauguration, said a statement from Marriott.

Shaker took the human resources role in 2004 taking care of Core Trainings for the 12 Marriott properties in the Middle East and Africa, at the time.

She has been with the company for 18 years prior to joining the Marriott Marquis City Center Doha Hotel in November 2016.

She has a certificate in the International Management Trainer Network and is currently finalising her diploma for the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD) in intermediate level.

On her new role, Shaker said: "Wherever I go, I aim to always help and support people to discover their true potential. Marriott is a company that helps to inspire associates by offering various strategic trainings tailored to individual needs within its international workforce."

"Marriott International prides itself in providing an inclusive environment with equal support allowing associates to ultimately grow and flourish," he added.-TradeArabia News Service
