UAE: Kerzner International has promoted Mattheos Georgiou to head of global operations, overseeing the company’s One&Only, SIRO, and Rare Finds brands.
Reporting to Kerzner‘s CEO Philippe Zuber, Georgiou will lead the strategic growth of the three brands.

He said: “It is a privilege to lead these three extraordinary brands, each with its own powerful identity, guest promise and growth trajectory.

Zuber added: “Mattheos is a natural connector with a proven ability to bring people together around bold ideas, and whose expertise in luxury, and passion for people have made a significant impact since he joined Kerzner. In his new role as head of global operations, his strategic acumen, vision and deep understanding of our brands will be fundamental in continuing to drive value to our guests, employees, homeowners and partners around the world.
