Dubai, United Arab Emirates: There is a new face at the Four Points by Sheraton Bur Dubai as the hotel announced the appointment of its new Director of Sales, Ganesh Kamath.
Although new to the hotel, Ganesh is no newcomer to the hotel scene. He brings with him 10 years of working experience and has been in Dubai for almost 4 years now. He started his career in the hospitality industry as the Sales & Marketing Manager for Taj Hotels, Resorts & Palaces in India, covering various market segments and areas before finally settling in Dubai.
Graduated with a Bachelor of Commerce in Business Management from the University of Mumbai in India, Ganesh speaks fluent English and Hindi plus working knowledge of Arabic.
The art of selling has always been a passion for Ganesh as he first started his career securing business and increasing market share for DHL Worldwide Express in Mumbai. However, he preferred the people-oriented culture and constant energy the hotel industry has to offer and decided that hotel is more his cup of tea.
In his new capacity, Ganesh is poised to lead his Sales team in establishing new accounts through strong networking, coordinating diplomatic/private sector visits, creating and expanding the corporate and leisure markets as well as the meetings segments. Ganesh is also responsible for the hotel's overall sales and marketing strategy to ensure it stays at the top amongst its competitive group.
Pleasant by nature, Ganesh attributes his success to diligent hard work and fabulous networking. He now looks forward to visiting all his clients with a new product.
With Ganesh at the helm of the Sales department, he hopes to increase the Four Points by Sheraton Bur Dubai's client base rate significantly.
