- Ramesh Moorthy and Natwar Patel join the resort’s senior leadership team

Maldives, 24 February 2018: Jumeirah Vittaveli in the Maldives, an award-winning luxury island resort recently named Global Hotel of the Year by the World Luxury Hotel Awards, has appointed Ramesh Moorthy as Director of Finance, and Natwar Patel as Director of Engineering.

“We are continuously working on enhancing guest experience, and with the recent opening of the new and extended B4R, the new overwater lounge Cyan, and the addition of the Private Ocean Retreats, as well as the upcoming opening of the Cave at B4R, our new underground tasting room for rare whiskeys and artisan chocolates, we rely on a strong Executive Committee to support all of our endeavours. I am confident that Ramesh and Natwar will contribute to the continued success of Jumeirah Vittaveli, based on their wealth of experience in leading properties around the world.” comments Amit Majumder, the General Manager.

An Indian national, Ramesh Moorthy started his career in Finance in his native Chennai in 1996, from which he moved on to Goa, and then joined Starwood in Mauritius. After returning back home to India to work for Leela Hotels and then Hilton Worldwide, Ramesh ventured to the Maldives to join St Regis, his most recent position before becoming part of the Jumeirah family. Ramesh’s strengths are pre-opening operations including setting up of all financial policies and procedures, and the balancing of budgetary control with a maximization of high quality purchasing. He is a pro-active visionary with a drive for real time results with experience in all aspects of accounting, finance, and audit matters.

A professional engineer with thirty years’ experience, Natwar Patel hails from Fiji, so he is intimately familiar with the challenges and benefits of living and working in an island destination. He has had broad exposure in the electrical field, with the largest sugar mill in Fiji, as well as extensive experience in senior management roles in the hotel industry. Having held single property as well as cluster Director of Engineering positions in resorts and hotels in Fiji, Australia, Asia, the United Kingdom, and Maldives, Natwar brings a host of experience in project management, hotel pre-opening and maintenance projects.
