The gamut of experience she brings to the table at a relatively young age makes her an ideal candidate for the Radisson Blu Hotel, Muscat, according to General Manager Marius Wolmarans. He said, "Today, HR has become a core business function, especially in the hospitality sector, which thrives on getting and retaining the right talent. HR managers need to have a 360-degree perspective in their roles. With her experience in HR, marketing, event management and CSR, Fatma will play a key role in driving our organisational strategy. On behalf of the Hotel staff, I extend a warm welcome to Fatma and wish her the best of luck."
