Before joining Fairmont-Raffles-Swissotel Hotels and Resorts as the Director of Global Accounts, Shahab was working on developing the West Coast National Sales Office for Noble House Hotels. Prior to that, he held a variety of positions at the Fairmont Miramar Hotel. Starting his career as a manager in the Front Office, Shahab quickly pushed his way into Sales as their Group Sales Manager, where he oversaw the group sales and catering for the Midwest market.

Shahab is thrilled to be back with the three distinct brands, Fairmont, Raffles and Swissôtel, which have combined to provide the world's finest accommodations for discerning travelers - giving customers easier access to more destinations. Elegant accommodations and impeccable service in the world's finest destinations are elements that these brands share. However, the three brands also maintain their identities and traditions: Fairmont as a landmark presence integrated into its community; Raffles as sophisticated luxury with residential charm; and Swissotel as personalized efficient service within a contemporary ambiance.

Shahab's responsibilities at home include changing diapers and doing daily standup comedy routines for his 21 month old daughter, which he is happy to share with the rest of the world.
