Naim Maadad has been promoted from area director to managing director for the Middle East.

Naim’s previous roles have seen him based in Tokyo and Yokohama, Japan; Jeddah, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia; Dubai, United Arab Emirates; and in Queensland’s Gold Coast and Hayman Island in his homeland Australia.
He earned an MBA from International Management Centre – an affiliate of Oxford/Surrey University of London, a Diploma of Business (Hospitality Management) from the University of South Australia, plus other certificates in food and beverage service and management, in Australia.
