Four Seasons Hotel Doha has welcomed back Gisela Ciancio as the hotel’s new director of human resources.
The promotion sees Ciancio move to Qatar from Four Seasons Hotel New York, where she spent the last two years working as senior learning & development manager. She now rejoins the hotel where she first worked in 2004 as the learning & development manager on the pre-opening team.
Four Seasons Hotel Doha regional vice president and general manager Rami Sayess said: “Having Gisela assume the post of director of HR is a proud moment for the team here in Qatar as she started her career with Four Seasons at this very property. Since her first stint here almost 10 years ago, Gisela has built a very solid grounding in delivering the best employee experiences across cultures, and has amassed wide international expertise in leading recruitment, talent administration and learning and development within the luxury hospitality market. Beyond her enviable international exposure, she has amazing energy and is the best person to help prepare the team for the 2022 World Cup in Doha. Of course, she is rooting for her home team to walk away the winner!”
