Jan Moenkedieck has been named General Manager of the 325-room Hilton Abu Dhabi, while Sherif Nassar takes over as Cluster General Manager for Hilton Baynunah and Hilton Corniche Hotel Apartments.

Coincidentally, both make their way to the U.A.E from Egypt. Earlier, Moenkedieck was General Manager of Conrad Cairo, and Nassar served as General Manager for the Hilton Fayrouz Resort in Sharm El Sheikh.

Essam Abouda, Vice President, Hilton Hotels, Arabian Peninsula & Indian Ocean said:

"I am delighted to announce the appointments of Jan and Sherif for our Abu Dhabi properties. We strongly focus on aggressive internal training and promotion strategies, as we believe both are vital to maintaining Hilton's distinctive competitive edge. We provide numerous opportunities for our team members to take on challenging roles and assume top positions, a reason why most of our people regard us as their employer of choice for an entire career span. Abu Dhabi is a key destination for us, both within our existing portfolio and as a development market."


Moenkedieck's prolific decade-long career with Hilton comprises key property launches, rebranding and restructuring projects across Asia Pacific, U.A.E, India and most recently Egypt.

Moenkedieck's previous engagement in the U.A.E as General Manager of Hilton Dubai Creek, saw him successfully operate the property between 2002 and 2004.

Nassar, on the other hand, has a 16-year career with Hilton in Egypt, where his capabilities propelled him to top positions in operations and sales.

His consistent performance has seen him assume General Manager positions since 2005.
