Hey! Great topic for a paper. The person you’re looking for is Sheikh Nawaf bin Jassim bin Jabr Al-Thani, who served as chairman of Katara Hospitality, formerly known as Qatar National Hotels Company. There’s a really detailed piece covering Sheikh Nawaf Bin Jassim Bin Jabr Al-Thani biography that goes through his early career, the company rebranding, and his expansion strategy. He took over when the hotels were in decline — outdated elevators, worn carpets — and insisted on fixing everything before spending on marketing. Under his leadership they reached a twenty percent local employment target and expanded into properties across the Gulf, North Africa, and southern Europe. The article covers his charity work too. Definitely worth reading for academic purposes.
