Taking over the reins at the new Corp Executive Hotel Apartments - Al Barsha - Dubai is Aamir Pervez, who moves from his previous role as regional sales director at the management company, HMH (Hospitality Management Holdings).

Born in India and educated in New Delhi, Aamir chose to study to degree level in Europe, moving to Antwerp in Belgium to study for a Bachelor of Business Administration at the European university followed by diploma at Harlem Business School.

Starting out, multi-lingual Aamir - who numbers Urdu, Hindi, Dutch and English among his languages - chose to enter the fascinating world of the diamond industry, working for two years in Belgium before moving on to become an international trading manager in Germany and then back to Belgium to work for Universal Telecom Services as operations manager.

The hospitality industry represented another new challenge for Aamir, who travelled to the Middle East to take up a new appointment in the sales team at the Coral Deira in 2006, where he rapidly found his feet and was promoted to become senior sales manager, later transferring to the Coral Boutique Villas as head of sales and marketing.

Success in implementing reservations and promotions strategy led to his further promotion, this time as general manager where he supervised prestigious key accounts as well as oversaw every aspect of operations of the property - winning an excellence award for his efforts.

A further feather in his cap was his latest role as regional sales director for HMH, where he led day-to-day operations of the sales department as well as developing strategy and establishing regional sales operations.

Corp Executive Hotel Apartments - Al Barsha - Dubai is the first hotel to open its doors under the Corp brand. The hotel offers facilities ranging from concierge, valet and dry-cleaning through to all-day dining, 24-hour room service, wi-fi in all public areas, business centre, conference rooms, parking plus rooftop pool, Jacuzzi, sauna and steam and a state-of-the-art gym.
