Dave Baswal has been promoted to Chief Executive Officer at Ovolo Hotels
Leading designer boutique hotel collection Ovolo announces the promotion of Dave Baswal to Chief Executive Officer, allowing Founder and Executive Chairman Girish Jhunjhnuwala to focus on branding, development, and strategic growth of the business. The appointment comes as Ovolo prepares for the next phase of its evolution, with plans to expand into new markets as the hospitality industry recovers from the impacts of the pandemic.
With 20 years of experience in hospitality, finance and real estate management, Dave has been instrumental in Ovolo's growth during the pandemic and in building a strong team aligned around the group's core values.
A National Board Advisory Member of Tourism Accommodation Australia and former executive at Mantra Group, Dave holds a Master's in Professional Accounting, a Master's in International Tourism and a Bachelor in Hotel Management, and brings a wealth of experience to the role.
Ovolo currently has 13 hotels and a dozen restaurants across Hong Kong, Australia and Indonesia and is looking for expansion opportunities across Asia Pacific, Europe, and the US.
Girish is certainly not slowing down and will remain intrinsically involved in all aspects of the business, continuing to break the rules that traditional hoteliers follow to set new benchmarks in hospitality.
