Mazen comes to Lanai most recently from Four Seasons Resort Palm Beach, trading Florida palm trees for tropical breezes.
With a career spanning more than two decades with Four Seasons, Mazen's creativity and collaborative spirit have been key to his success across properties worldwide. He served as General Manager in Palm Beach, a return after presiding over the opening of Four Seasons Hotel and Residences Fort Lauderdale. In his role as General Manager there, he worked with colleagues to distinguish the property in its first year of operation.
First joining Four Seasons in 2003, Saleh began as a management trainee in Sharm El Sheikh, then quickly rose through progressive food and beverage positions while honing his skills during task force opening opportunities in Mauritius, Beirut, Alexandria and Istanbul. He furthered his career in Nevis and Austin before moving to South Florida.
He is a firm believer that the employee experience at the heart of Four Seasons culture is elemental to warmly welcoming guests, and is excited to experience the warm aloha spirit of Lanai. Building upon the exceptional hospitality, unforgettable experiences and genuine desire to share the island’s culture that colleagues of the Resorts showcase every day are the first pages of his next chapter on Lanai.
“My journey with Four Seasons has taken me around the world, and each destination has left a lasting impression,” says Saleh. “Every Four Seasons property has its own sense of connection, and on Lanai, that spirit is felt in every moment. It’s a privilege to lead such an extraordinary team and to share in the warmth and natural beauty that make this island and these resorts so special.”
Saleh’s passion for hospitality began in his youth in The Gambia, where his father owned three restaurants, ensuring an after-school job in food and beverage. His dreams almost took him in a different direction, but he ultimately decided to pursue a degree in hospitality management in Switzerland’s Glion Institute before signing up with Four Seasons during a campus career day.
