Vineet Mahajan Joins Ayana Resort Bali as DOSM

Ayana Resort and Spa Bali has appointed Vineet Mahajan as Director of Sales & Marketing.

Vineet will also be part of the pre-opening team for a separately-branded resort scheduled to open in late 2013 adjacent to Ayana, within the 77-hectare Karang Mas Estate.

Having more than 16 years’ experience in the hospitality, telecom and investment banking industries, Vineet was most recently Complex Director of Sales & Marketing for Westin Gurgaon and Westin Sohna Resorts and Spa. Prior to that, he launched The Leela Palace New Delhi and The Leela Kempinski Gurgaon from pre-opening to the first year of operations as Director of Sales and Marketing.

Vineet’s earlier career experience included various projects with InterContinental Hotels Group, Oberoi Hotels & Resorts and the Strategic Capital Corporation.

An MBA graduate from the Aberdeen Business School, he was amongst the select few awarded an associate member of ‘Scottish Network International’ and later hand-picked to work as a marketing manager and financial analyst for The Essentia Group.

“I am delighted to have Vineet on board to take Ayana to the next level,” said Ayana’s General Manager, Edward Linsley. “A key element of this resort’s success is that it has been designed in such a way so as to cater to a wide spectrum of guests from across the globe. Honeymooners and wedding couples enjoy the privacy of the Villas, while families enjoy the recreational facilities and corporate guests the variety of restaurants and event venues. Vineet’s strategic planning, dynamic leadership and cultural awareness will play a key role in developing these market segments further and leading this resort to even greater success.”
