In his new role, Schiller will take the reins of the operations of two Hilton hotels in the UAE – Hilton Abu Dhabi and Hilton Al Ain. His focus will remain on engagement with guests and his team to elevate the hotels’ standards by providing par excellence service.

The German national has been a part of the Hilton family since 2008 when he joined the Hilton Alexandria Green Plaza in Egypt as director of operations. He then moved to Hilton Abuja in Nigeria in 2012.

Schiller said: “I strongly believe that the success of a hospitality brand depends on team work and each staff member’s passion and attitude towards the work. In my new role, I will focus on growing the talent we have in-house at both hotels and set the tone for a high-performance culture to create a synergistic impact on hospitality.”
