Her comprehensive communications and brand management experience will contribute to the company's continued success in this market, especially during a time when it is imperative to maintain a strong brand presence," said Tannous.

In her new role, Kosior will assist the director of communications with the hotel's communications and marketing programme, which includes all advertising, promotions, sponsorships and events, database marketing and media relationships.
