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

In his new role, Naim will be responsible for overseeing the management of all Six Senses resorts and Six Senses Spas in the Middle East, in addition to taking charge of pursuing new resort and spa developments in the region.

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.
