The Standard, Huruvalhi Maldives is more than glad to welcome the newest addition to the resort’s team, General Manager Jesper Soerensen. The Danish Management Executive brings in more than 20 years of experience in the hospitality industry, a journey to various parts of the world, from England, Singapore, and the U.S. to Qatar. From this day, Soerensen will oversee every aspect of the resort’s daily operation and lead team members across multiple departments.
Before this appointment, Soerensen contributed over a year at the Six Senses Hotels and Resorts in Singapore, as the General Manager recruited to oversee the opening, branding and management of the two five-star wellness properties, Duxton and Maxwell. However, what takes up most of his journey up to here is his impressive promotion from Front Office Manager to General Manager at Morgans Hotel Group.
“Jesper’s creativity, touch with guests, boundless energy and positive spirit make him a fantastic addition to our team and it’s a pleasure to welcome him to our paradise,” said Amar Lalvani, Chief Executive Officer of Standard International. “He has vast experience throughout the world at some really wonderful properties and I am excited for him to help us bring The Standard’s culture to life in our first island resort, and our first property in the region.”
The highly skilled individual is also delighted to be part of the luxurious property. “Our priority is to ensure the safety and health of our guests while maintaining a memorable experience for them. Fortunately, the Maldives is one of the safest remote areas in the world and ideal for social distancing.”
