Meet Mohamed Solah – New Chief Operating Officer At Crown & Champa Resorts

Monday 26th of September 2022

Crown & Champa Resorts (CCR) have welcomed their new Chief Operating Officer, Mohamed Solah to its properties. This marks a historic moment for both parties as Mohamed Solah began his career at CCR’s Meeru Island Resort almost two decades ago. Before taking on the position at CCR, he was previously filling in the role of Cluster General Manager at Zaya Hospitality in Dubai.

Solah started his career in 2002, at Meeru Island Resort as a receptionist/ telephone operator. However, his dedication and passion for the industry reflected in his skills and he swiftly climbed the ranks, filling in many managerial positions throughout his career. This became very evident when he was appointed as the General Manager of CCR’s Komandoo Island back in 2018, going down in history as one of the youngest General Managers in the country.

During his career, Solah has also worked in multiple properties abroad in Middle East. This includes serving as the Rooms Operations Manager at Zaya Nurai Island in Abu Dhabi from and his contributions at Zaya Hospitality in Dubai-the last posting Solah held before joining the team at Crown & Champa.

Having completed his undergraduate studies in Hospitality and Tourism Studies from Taylor’s University, Malaysia, Solah took management training at Sheraton Langkawi Beach Resort and Hilton Seychelles. He also holds a certificate from University of Cornell, New York for completing the General Manager Programme and is fluent in French as well.
