Rebecca Renée has been promoted to Marketing Manager at W Abu Dhabi – Yas Island
W Abu Dhabi - Yas Island has a new marketing manager. Rebecca Renée, who joined as a marketing executive in 2019, steps up to the role. It is Renée's first managerial position, having been a marketing trainee at Renaissance Downtown Hotel Dubai (now St. Regis Downtown) in March 2019.
Renée featured on Hotelier Middle East's inaugural 30 under 30 list last year, 27 years old at the time, she was lauded by her team at W for taking on the responsibilities of a marketing manager during the pandemic.
The hotel's director of sales and marketing Jatinder Singh said you could easily be fooled into thinking she's been in the role far longer, having driven the marketing strategy of the property forward without a departmental head leading her. He said she understands the market, knows what to push and is also not afraid to voice her own opinion.
Now officially the manager, Renée said her growth in the Abu Dhabi hotel has been thanks to hard work and support from her team.
Still one of the youngest managers in Middle Eastern hospitality, the new marketing head said she sees her age being a benefit.
Rebecca Renée is an alumnus of Hotel Management School Maastricht – Class of 2019.
