Levie, who has worked for groups including Sonesta International Hotels Corporation and NH Hotels and is the founding partner and COO at citizenM hotels, said: “All of our shareholders have united with a crystal-clear purpose. We want to catalyse transformation: be it in technology, operations or human resources.”
Keen, a brand strategist and CEO of branding and communications agency QUO, added: “The post-pandemic era is one of extraordinary opportunity. Our purpose is to realise our industry’s potential and to bring it up to par with the world’s most dynamic industries and organisations.”-TradeArabia News Service
