According to a statement by Mr. Hassan Ahdab, the Vice President, Regional Director of Operations
Africa & Indian Ocean for Starwood, Irshad’s appointment is with immediate effect.
“It gives me great pleasure to announce the appointment of Nouman Irshad as General Manager of Sheraton Abuja, with immediate effect.
“From General Practitioner to General Manager, Nouman’s journey has been an exciting one. “Through his medical studies and stint in the pharmaceutical industry, Nouman continued to nurture his dream of becoming a hotelier. He went on to realize this dream when he joined Sheraton Karachi in July 2007 as Director of Sales & Marketing, an opportunity he took as soon as it came up. Within a short period of time he made his way up to grow and assume the role of Deputy General Manager in June 2012.
“In January 2014 Nouman was appointed Deputy General Manager of Sheraton Lagos and soon earned the respect of his colleagues and owners alike. His inspirational leadership style and operational achievements at Sheraton Lagos made him the logical choice for Sheraton Abuja.
We are confident that Nouman with his strong sales & marketing experience and leadership skills will add great value to Sheraton Abuja.
“Please join me in welcoming Nouman and wishing him all the success,” Ahdab said.
