Mövenpick Hotels & Resorts has promoted Saudi national Musab Shafee to the role of resort manager at Mövenpick Beach Resort Al Khobar, a 36-villa boutique property offering exceptional seaside experiences.

The talented hotelier who has spent the last six years working at Mövenpick Hotel & Resort Yanbu, most recently as Front Office Manager, takes the helm at the established upscale resort with immediate effect, responsible for all team members and operations.

Shafee, who is passionate about creating happy workplaces for his colleagues, assumes the new role after participating in Mövenpick’s Saudi Development Centre (SDC) – an exclusive training programme for nationals working in management positions within the company who demonstrate strong leadership potential.

“I’d like to congratulate Musab on his well-deserved promotion, which will make the most of his vast industry experience and his adept people management and development skills,” said Marc Descrozaille, president Middle East & Africa, Mövenpick Hotels & Resorts.

“His commitment to fostering an attractive work environment for team members is very much in tune with our 'We make moments' business philosophy and we are delighted our SDC initiative is identifying talented and dedicated Saudi nationals such as Musab who make great leaders.”

Shafee has worked in Saudi’s hotel sector for 18 years. Prior to joining Mövenpick, he worked for InterContinental Hotels Group in Dar Al Hijra.

He has an Associate Degree of Hotel Management from the College of Technology, Saudi Arabia and a Bachelor of International Hotel & Resort Management from Bond University, Australia. - TradeArabia News Service
