Rosewood Corniche Hotel in Jeddah Appoints New DOSM

Sherif El Mansoury has been appointed as the new Director of Sales and Marketing at the Rosewood Corniche in Jeddah.

El Mansoury has joined Rosewood Corniche from Mosaic Palais Aziza & Spa Hotel in Marrakesh, Morocco where he was the Director of Sales & Marketing responsible for the design of a business strategy that allowed the property to survive the sharp industry competition in one of the most popular tourist destinations in North Africa.

Prior to joining Rosewood Corniche, El Mansoury worked at Kempinski Hotel Soma Bay, where he was Director of Sales until 2010. He served as Associate Director of Sales at the famous Fairmont Nile City Hotel in Cairo, before being promoted to Director of Sales. During his tenure with Fairmont, he was successful in setting up the hotel’s travel team and highly contributed to the planning process of attracting international guests, specifically from European and GCC markets.

From 2000 to 2007, El Mansoury worked in sales at The Ritz-Carlton, Sharm El Sheikh, playing an essential role in representing the hotel in international fairs, managing GCC and European markets, and securing a greater productivity through increasing average room rate, occupancy and business volume during challenging periods.

The 127-room hotel is located on Jeddah’s Corniche, which runs parallel to the Red Sea for over 32 kilometres and provides convenient access to the city’s business and leisure areas.
