He began his career with Hyatt in 1998 in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, and has held senior roles at eight of its properties in six countries in total. Labban brings extensive operational experience and a track record in developing teams and improving guest experience.
Labban’s previous posts include director of sales and marketing at the pre-opening of Park Hyatt Dubai, later advancing to executive assistant manager and hotel manager at Hyatt Regency Dubai.
