Dusit Thani Maldives Appoints New General Manager

Sunday 23rd of October 2022

Tucked away in the scenic Baa Atoll in a UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve, Dusti Thani Maldives is a luxurious resort, dotted with over-water villas and residences. An island recluse, the resort offers multiple experiences ranging from fine dining to Devarana Wellness and relaxation. Taking the reins of this pristine resort is Mr. Jacques Leizerovici who was recently appointed as the General Manager of Dusit Thani Maldives.

A highly motivated, dual French-Canadian citizen, Jacques completed a training programme in finance at University of Ryerson in Toronto and has done modules in finance and market research at Cornell University in New York as well. Mr. Leizerovici brings to Dusit Thani an impressive career in the hospitality industry, spanning over 3 decades of experience. He has filled several senior management positions at numerous acclaimed hotel brands under the Accor group. His work has taken him around the world from South America to Canada and even Malaysia.

Mr. Leizerovici began his career in the industry back in 1984 at Le Meridien Montreal. Since then, he has worked at Maitred’hôtel before he joined as Front Office Manager at Novotel Fleur d’ Epée. Through these, he gained extensive work experience which heavily contributed to a well-rounded skillset in hotel operations, sales, marketing, revenue management and distribution.

His passion and dedication to the industry made him outshine others, positioning him in high-profile roles at some of the world-class hotel brands. This includes stepping in as Regional Director of Sales & Marketing for several brands under the Accor group such as Sofitel, Novotel and Mercure and the Ibis brands in French Caribbean.

In addition to this, Mr. Leizerovici also played an integral role in pre-opening projects. After successfully opening multiple hotels in Sabah, Malaysia, he was appointed as the Director of Corporate Affairs at Yayasan Sabah International Convention Centre. His last posting before joining the team at Dusit Thani Maldives was as General Manager of Pullman Vung Tau and Convention Centre.

Speaking on the appointment, Senior Vice President, Mr. Prateek Kumar said “Jacques’s appointment is another key milestone for Dusit Thani Maldives. His energy, enthusiasm and international expertise are great assets that we value enormously. His expertise will no doubt play a significant role in the continued success of Dusit Thani Maldives, as he oversees day-to-day operations, maintains exceptional guest services, drives financial performance through strategic partnerships, and, most importantly, provides our guests with memories to treasure.”
