Finance Person of the Year
Amin Ahmed, finance & business support manager, Intercontinental al jubail

How has winning the hotelier award impacted your career?

The award has introduced me to our head office and our owners in a perfect way, because 2017 was my first year as a finance & business support manager. The award has motivated my team and my colleagues, and it also pushed me to keep up with the high standard of performance.

Are you still at the same hotel?

Yes, I am still in the same hotel. I got some other offers but I preferred to stay.

What advice would you give other hoteliers hoping to win an award? 

Think out of the box and try to build a brand for yourself.

Where do you see yourself in the next five years?

I am looking forward to being in a regional role concerning finance & business support.
