Marketing Manager at Crowne Plaza Dubai Marina

There’s nothing complicated about dealing with business people. They’re just people doing business by day; international marketing superhero by night. Like Liz, who has left her laptop cable in the cab; or Mario, who is secretly missing his cats… the early riser, who’s first in the gym... the sales team preparing for the ‘big pitch’ over a freshly prepared lunch.
