Debra Sivertsen

Starting her career with Radisson Hotel Group in 2000 as HR Manager for the Radisson Blu Hotel Waterfront, Cape Town, Debra quickly moved into position as Deputy General Manager before taking up her first General Manager role for the Group at the Park Inn Greenmarket Square Cape Town. She then decided to leave the Group in 2006 to broaden her horizons in the hospitality field.

In 2013, she re-joined as the General Manager of the Radisson Blu Hotel Waterfront, Cape Town, where she remained until May 2018. Her career then took her to a different continent, and she began working as General Manager of the Park Inn by Radisson Nevsky St. Petersburg Hotel. After just nine months, she continued her journey and came to the beautiful city of Tbilisi in Georgia, where she has now been appointed General Manager of the Radisson Blu Iveria Hotel, Tbilisi.

Commenting on what she finds most interesting about her job, Debra explains: "My main motivation to work for Radisson Hotel Group, is that I strongly believe in the company's culture, ethics and the commitment to grow and develop people. As an ambassador of Women in Leadership, I am proud to work for a company that embraces Diversity and Inclusion. If you have people working for the hotel that are passionate and they truly love what they do they, in turn, will do what they can to create memorable moments for every guest that stays in the hotel.
