Pullman Dubai Jumeirah Lakes Towers has added to its executive team – with executive housekeeper Ruby Pande and executive chef Levent Karahan joining the hotel.
Pande joins the hotel following her role as director of housekeeping at the Westin Dubai Al Habtoor City, where she was a member of the pre-opening and opening team.
Pande, who previously worked with Hyatt Hotels in Mumbai, holds a Bachelor Degree in Hotel Management from IHM Mumbai.
She has more than 15 years of experience in the hospitality industry managing a housekeeping department at luxury hotels in several destinations across Asia.
Pande said: “I am looking forward to applying my years of experience to my new role at Pullman Dubai Jumeirah Lakes Towers and ensuring the smooth running of the housekeeping department at the property which has 354 rooms and apartments.”
Meanwhile, Turkish National Karahan will apply his two decade experience to Pullman JLTs kitchen in his capacity as executive chef.
He previously worked as the executive chef of the Marjan Islands Resort & Spa – a hotel managed by Accorhotels, where he was in charge of eight food and beverage outlets and 77 team members.
With a background in luxury hotels, Karahan graduated from the Tekirdag Anatolian Professional School of Hotels in 1995 after studying Management and Tourism.
Karahan has won many awards throughout his career including the ‘Best Nationality Main Course in Europe’ in 1999.
Karahan said: “With five food and beverage destinations within the five-star hotel and a range of cuisine available – I am looking to offer a variety which will consistently meet our guests’ culinary requirements.
Pullman Dubai Jumeirah Lakes Towers general manager Fadeel Wehbe said: “As we start 2017, we are delighted to announce two excellent additions to our executive team who will oversee two integral departments within our property; culinary and housekeeping. In 2016 we hosted over 150,000 overnight guests and we look forward to welcoming new visitors alongside our regular guests on Pullman Dubai Jumeirah Lakes Towers this year.”
