UAE-founded Time Hotels Management has appointed a new vice president of sales and marketing, Roddy Gordon, who will be taking over the role from Tommy Ressopoulos, who retires at the end of October.
British national Gordon has almost three decades’ experience in sales and marketing on three continents, and is a specialist in strategic revenue activation with a track record of successful sales leadership in changing global markets.
“Roddy’s commercial credentials speak for themselves, but his experience in imbuing corporate culture within his team as well as forging mutually beneficial long-term partnerships that communicate shared values, will add a further dimension to his role and – hopefully – to Time Hotels’ reputation in the region’s key markets,” said Mohamed Awadalla, CEO, Time Hotels.

His career has taken him around the world with Hyatt International, and to the UAE with Atlantis, Rosewood Abu Dhabi and Tamani Hotels & Resorts. He also has extensive experience in hotel pre-openings, launching high profile properties in destinations such as Seoul, Dubai and Abu Dhabi; as well as a track record in defining and implanting successful sales and marketing strategies for leading and upcoming brands.
Time Hotels continues on its growth path with a total of nine operational hotels, hotel apartments and residences, and expects three additional hotels to be up and running in 2016 and its first Time Express property to be opened in 2017.
