He started in a hotel laundry room and now runs a luxury resort chain
Radha Arora, 60, is president of Rosewood Hotels & Resorts, a 10,000-employee luxury hotel chain with 26 properties in 15 countries. A Rosewood venture recently opened in Montecito: a seaside resort built by real estate magnate Rick Caruso, called Rosewood Miramar Beach. Rosewood plans to add 21 more hotels and resorts, mostly in Asia and Europe.
Arora's job can be taxing from a commute standpoint. The Los Angeles resident is on the road about two weeks every month. Rosewood was bought by the family of billionaire Henry Cheng for $229.5 million in 2011 and is headquartered in Hong Kong.
