A Maldivian has been appointed as the General Manager of an international tourism brand for the first time.

Mohamed Ashraf has been appointed as the General Manager of Jumeirah Maldives.

He has previously served as the General Manager of The Nautilus Maldives, Resort Manager at Niyama Private Island and General Manager of Anantara Resort.

Ashraf has assumed the post of General Manager of UAE's International Hotel Chain Jumeirah Group.

In a post on social media, he said that he hopes that the new journey with Jumeirah would be successful and that he would make good use of the opportunity he has received.

Renowned international tourism brands operate in the Maldives. However, all these resorts resorts are led by foreign nationals while Maldivians are rarely employed as GM of local brands operating in the Maldives.

Jumeirah Maldives was previously operated as Lux North Male' Atoll Resort. The resort was reopened by Jumeirah late last year.
