Marina got into the hospitality industry as she absolutely adores travelling,
discovering new places and living new experiences. She was always charmed by the
ambiance of a hotel, especially those that give a home away from home feeling.
Marina had a huge desire to work in a multinational company with people from all
over the world which gives a unique feeling of inspiration and connection to the
whole world and brings different views together and creates more value and impact.
Every day is different in the industry, which keeps the motivation going.
The hospitality industry in Saudi Arabia is dynamic, competitive and very encouraging
with more exciting hotel openings in the pipeline over the coming years. The
government is truly supporting development of unique projects which make Saudi
Arabia a great tourism and traveling destination.
Marina being Marriott’s first female GM in Saudi Arabia proudly comments “I
appreciate it also a huge responsibility and I hope to an inspirational leader for
future female hoteliers. I have been approached by a lot of ladies who shared their
support and were delighted to see the announcement of Marriott International’s first
female GM in Saudi Arabia. These are exciting times for the Kingdom, and I am happy
to be a part of it”.
