FS Paris GM RVP Jose Silva now CEO of Jumeirah
FS Doha GM RVP Todd Cilano now with Jumeirah as GM and RVP of Jumeirah Beach Hotel... which almost seems like an insult to me. From a FS to Jumeirah Beach Hotel? Anyone who ever set foot into that hotel knows it's tourist hell.
FS Paris HM Pedro Deakin > now Jumeirah President Brand Operations (ahhh.. finally a President title at age 40)
FS Paris DOSM Florence Dubois > now Jumeirah President Communications Marketing
FS Prague GM René Beauchamp > now with Jumeirah leading Global Spas, not sure in what capacity (did he get the last position left from José?)
Did I miss anything? Now what may seem as the usual roulette in hospitality is now, knowing some more details, almost a raid on FS senior management...
Elsewhere, a few changes:
Ben Trodd 'loved away' from Beverly Wilshire, promoted to SVP Global Sales. Moving from East to West is Peter Humig, now GM there, while Thomas Carreras on first GM assignment at FS Downtown NY (well deserved).
FS Surf Club has a new GM with Cornelia Samara... some of you may know her from her stint at Andaz 5th Avenue... she was one of Hyatt's best and hardest-working GMs and I am personally very glad she is now with FS, where she should be much more comfortable.
In Dubai, Leonardo now taking care of both properties... although this shouldn't be a challenge for him, knowing his passion.
Casablanca has a new GM, new to FS and ex Hilton... not so sure...
I wonder who is in Doha now? And Hampshire?
