I was recognised for my efforts during my time with sales and was finally assigned my first general manager role at Hampton by Hilton Gaziantep back in 2014. After 16 successful years, I was awarded “Best GM of the year in EMEA in 2016”. Now as general manager of Hampton by Hilton Al Barsha, I am thrilled to be part of an award-winning company and energetic team that will remind our guests why they prefer to stay with us and enjoy our signature Hamptonality experience."
