Commenting on his appointment, Redaelli said: “Having previously spent many years in the Middle East, I am thrilled to be back in this vibrant region that never ceases to impress. With the results of the Expo 2020 bid just around the corner in November, all eyes are fixed on Dubai; it's a great time to be on one of the most internationally recognised symbols of Dubai and the UAE, Palm Jumeirah.”
