Dear Outrigger hosts,
Please join me in welcoming SHAZIM IBRAHIM to the OUTRIGGER family as director of sales and marketing at OUTRIGGER Maldives Maafushivaru Resort starting July 21, 2024.
Shazim reports to John Allanson, general manager, and will be responsible for developing internal and external sales & marketing strategies to maximize hotel revenue and optimize profit returns. He will also oversee positioning of the resort, lead a resort based sales team and leverage corporate brand, marketing departments and global sales and marketing representatives to ensure rate & occupancy goals are met.
With nearly 25 years of hospitality experience ranging from the front office to reservations, Shazim brings a wealth of knowledge to the position. He was most recently the director of sales at The Standard Maldives and also worked in sales for Soneva and Canareef Resorts.
Born and raised in the southern part of the Maldives in Addu, Shazim has four children – two boys and two girls – the eldest is 20-years-old and the youngest is 10. In his free time he enjoys fishing, boat building, construction, carpentry, farming and last but not least, toddy taping. He also loves to travel and learn new languages including Thai, Japanese, and Italian.
We look forward to his contributions to the growth and success of our sales & marketing team.
Sean Dee
Chief Commercial Officer
