Baiocchi replaces Simon Casson as the hotel's GM, following Casson's promotion to the role of president, hotel operations, Europe, Middle East and Africa. He began his Four Seasons career in 1993, when he was appointed to work at the front desk in the Four Seasons Hotel Milano.

As general manager of Four Seasons Resort Dubai at Jumeirah Beach he will also have additional responsibility for oversight of the sister property Four Seasons Hotel Dubai International Financial Centre. Baiocchi arrived in Dubai from Istanbul, where he led both Four Seasons properties as general manager for five years. “I was one of the pioneers at clustering Four Seasons hotels under the same management,” he says. “There are a lot of benefits and cost efficiencies to synergising management of hotels under the same ownership. It makes a lot of sense.”The Kenyan-born Italian national holds a degree in Hotel Management, from Glion Hotel School, Clarens, Switzerland.
