In his new position, he will oversee the finance and purchasing departments of the property. He will be responsible for overall accounting and financial management requirements in addition to supporting Dominic Arel, general manager, in meeting the strategic goals of the property.

Salha joins the hotel from his most recent role as assistant director of finance and business support at InterContinental Dubai Marina.

“In his longstanding career, Mazen has demonstrated the ability to streamline business operations and increase efficiency and profitability at the hotels that he has worked at. He has outstanding knowledge of developing and implementing financial controls along with great leadership and interpersonal skills. The team is very excited to have him onboard,” said Arel.
 
Talking about his new position, Salha said: “Swissotel Al Ghurair stands out from hotel approaches that are ‘tried and true’ and is bringing all the buzz-worthy qualities and character to Old Dubai. I’m thrilled to join the team that is reimagining the way modern travellers and locals experience vacations.”

With over 12 years of progressive experience in finance of established brands in the hospitality industry, he is the perfect fit for Swissotel Al Ghurair.
