New director of sales joins Grand Millennium Dubai

Grand Millennium Dubai has appointed Shadi Karameh as the new director of sales.

According to Grand Millennium general manager Peter Mansourian, the appointment will strengthen the hotel's sales strategy as competition grows in the Dubai market.

“We are delighted to welcome Shadi to the team at the Grand Millennium Dubai where his experience in development of international leisure and regional corporate markets, as well as his sector contacts, will be invaluable in ensuring the hotel continues to be the first choice for both leisure and business travellers,” he said.

Karameh joins the team after spending two years at the Dubai sales office of Raffles Praslin Seychelles, where he was the assistant director of sales.

Prior to that, he was director of business development at Bon Tours, and also spent two years overseeing international sales at JA Resorts & Hotels.

A graduate of the Lebanon Institut Moyent Orient Affilie, Karameh came to the UAE to pursue a career in hospitality, starting as front desk shift leader at Al Sondos Suites by Le Meridien and Dar Al Sondos Hotel Apartments by Le Meridien before moving in to sales where he specialised in corporate account development.
