Doha: Rotana’s President and CEO Omer Kaddouri was recognised by Switzerland’s prestigious Les Roches International School of Hotel Management with an Innovation Award for his outstanding contributions to the hospitality industry.
The award was presented at a ceremony held on the sidelines of “Breaking Boundaries in Education”, a conference hosted by Les Roches to celebrate its 60th anniversary which brought together global leaders in the hospitality industry.
Kaddouri, a 1986 Les Roches graduate, was recognised for his many initiatives involving the retention and succession plans for Rotana’s talent. One of his major accomplishments is the TAROT Programme (The Accelerated Refinement of Talent), which targets ambitious college or university graduates as well as passionate existing colleagues whom Rotana believes have a bright future. Since graduation, Kaddouri has gained a wealth of experience in various fields of hotel management and has worked with many international chains.
