Kiran Kumar was recently appointed as Cluster Director of Marketing and PR for three international Marriott properties in Qatar – JW Marriott Marquis City Center Doha, Marriott Marquis City Center Doha and the Marriott Executive Apartments City Center Doha.
Kumar will also oversee the pre-opening of five other upcoming hotels as part of his role – Le Meridien City Center Doha, Delta Hotel City Center Doha, Element City Center Doha, Element West Bay Doha and Autograph Collection Al Samriya.
Kumar brings with him over 20 years of global experience to the award-winning portfolio and will seek to continue to grow the property’s prominent position in the local, regional and international markets.
No stranger to Marriott
Having successfully achieved an MBA in Marketing and Human Resources Development, Kumar’s initial foray in hospitality started when he took up a position with the iconic Le Royal Meridien in Chennai, India in 2001. His journey includes stints in the UK, Dubai, Abu Dhabi and now, in Doha.
Throughout his executive career path, Kumar has worked for prominent international hotel chains where he was exposed to several key areas in hotel management, amassing to his vast knowledge and proven successful record of accomplishment in the hospitality and service industry.
According to Cluster General Manager Rick Enders, Kiran is no stranger to Marriott International.
After over a decade spent in key roles within Marriott properties in the UAE, I am confident that Kiran brings a wealth of experience and knowledge in the luxury leisure industry that will not only help drive and shape the needs of our three existing hotels, but he will also be instrumental in our future success of activating a string of upcoming five new properties in the heart of Doha.
Kumar also expressed his excitement as he expands his hotelier career with the internationally acclaimed Marriott group.
I see significant opportunities for each hotel’s further development in the market and I am truly inspired by the prospect of adding value to an already existing great team.
