Khaled Al Jamal has started a new general manager role with Fairmont Amman, his first hospitality job outside of Marriott International in 20 years.
Al Jamal has spent much of his hospitality career with Marriott, first as a director of restaurants at Budapest Marriott Hotel in 1994, according to his Linkedin. He then continued his journey through the group, taking up roles across countries and across departments.
Becoming a general manager in 2003 at Courtyard by Marriott in Moscow, he moved between various Marriott properties, including more recently the Accra Marriott Hotel.
His move to Fairmont, an Accor brand, marks the end of a 20 plus-year career with the rival Marriott.
