Jesper Bo Henriksen Joins Corinthia Hotel St. Petersburg as GM

Jesper Bo Henriksen has been appointed as General Manager of the Corinthia Hotel St. Petersburg.

With 12 years’ experience as General Manager, this new role will see Jesper overseeing the day-to-day business operations of the hotel, as Corinthia St. Petersburg continues to develop itself among the city’s leading five-star hotels.

Moving from the Radisson Royal Hotel in Moscow, one of Stalin’s legendary ‘Seven Sisters’ skyscrapers, to his new address in the nineteenth-century building on Nevsky Prospect, Jesper Henriksen joins Corinthia St. Petersburg following a successful career spanning 34 years’ hotel experience in nine different cities worldwide.

Jesper has worked his way up the rungs in the hospitality industry, starting as a bellboy in his native Denmark in the 1980’s, and gradually progressing through a sales career path, arriving at his latest appointment as General Manager of the five-star Corinthia Hotel St. Petersburg.

He has gained experience worldwide, having worked in France, the United Arab Emirates and his native Denmark before becoming a general manager for the first time in 2002. Since then, he has been appointed as a general manager six times, working in Brussels, Paris, Johannesburg and Moscow.

Simon Naudi, CEO of Corinthia Hotels, said, “We are delighted to welcome Jesper to the Corinthia family. He joins the Corinthia St. Petersburg at a very exciting time, with the city attracting an increasing amount of leisure and corporate travel. Jesper’s appreciation for the history of the hotel, and his strong belief in the importance of anticipation and storytelling, will prove to make him a perfect fit in our growing network of luxury hotels.”
