A French national, Galoisy began his hospitality career in 1985, as an F&B coordinator. He later worked his way up to F&B director, and was subsequently given his first managerial position with the Swissotel Istanbul in 2003.

During his 30 year career, Galoisy has worked in Oman, the UAE, Turkey, Thailand, China, Myanmar and the UK, working with international hotel groups such as Le Meridien and Shangri-La.

Galoisy joined the Rezidor group in 2005 as EAM at the Radisson SAS Dubai Media City. He later joined the Park Inn by Radisson, Muscat, Oman as GM in 2008.

From there, he returned to Dubai in 2011 as the GM of Radisson Blu Dubai Media City, before moving to the Radisson Blu Hotel, Sohar, Oman in 2014 to launch the new-build property.

Commenting on his new appointed, Galoisy said: “I am eager to oversee this new experience in Lebanon.

“Lebanon has a unique specificity that makes working in it a challenge unlike any other, therefore, I am looking forward to lead this endeavour towards new heights”.
