Gil Mulders

With a degree in international politics, InterContinental Hotel Group's Gil Mulders, now taking a seat on the new HSMAI Region Europe's Advisory Board for People & Culture, was on the fast track to a career in diplomacy. Luckily for the hospitality industry his plans took a different direction during a trip to America, ending in international hotel learning and development - and in the service of HSMAI's membership.

IHG's Head of Learning in Europe, Gil Mulders sports a long and varied career in hospitality, as Front Desk Manager, then Training Manager at Crowne Plaza Brussels, Reception Manager at QMH UK Limited, Guest Relations Executive at Hilton Worldwide, and Assistant Night Manager at Europe InterContinental Brussels, as well as eco tourism in America - but more on that further down the road.
