12. Sami Nasser, COO Luxury Brands, AccorHotels Middle East, Africa and Indian Ocean
When FRHI was acquired by AccorHotels just over a year ago, to support the luxury and upper-upscale segment the operator established an operational framework with dedicated resources and specific brand strategies to ensure differentiation among its brands and the competition. Chris Cahill, who has 19 years of experience with FRHI, was appointed to the role of CEO for the luxury division, based in Paris, and Sami Nasser reports directly to Cahill – effectively making him the leader of the luxury brands in this region.
AccorHotels has more than 30 properties under development, which will add a further 9,000 hotel rooms to the group's luxury upscale segment by 2021. COO luxury brands Sami Nasser makes our Power 50 list.
