The representation of women in leadership positions is increasing worldwide, and international hotel brand The Ozen Collection has embraced this culture of inclusion. The brand’s two exceptional private islands, Ozen Life Maadhoo and Ozen Reserve Bolifushi, have always been led by avant-garde female hoteliers. This long tradition continues with the brand’s latest appointment in India. Hospitality veteran Luisa Lalli steps in as Vice President and General Manager of Operations at the highly anticipated Ozen Mansion Kolkata. He has succeeded in delivering unparalleled guest experiences as the General Manager of Ozen Collection Maldives Resorts.
Souvagya Mohapatra, Managing Director of Atmosphere Core—India, Nepal, Sri Lanka, and Bhutan, said, “Luisa Lalli has been with us for over seven years and played a key role in the evolution of our company. This new appointment is testimony to our unique company culture to empower women in senior positions, and we welcome Luisa on this crucial move to Ozen Mansion Kolkata. We have always believed in cultivating and developing internal talent. For the opening of our first exceptional luxury city hotel in India, I am confident that Luisa is the right person to lead the team to a grand opening on July 7, 2024, and bring in a touch of refined elegance.”
Running this business requires mastery of the hospitality industry, a field Luisa has been proud of for over two decades. She has held important positions in leading international hotel brands around the world. Prior to her role in Kolkata, Luisa consistently exceeded expectations in terms of team management, operational processes and guest satisfaction, setting new standards of excellence for both Ozen Reserve Bolifushi and Ozen Life Maadhoo, where she served as General Manager.
“As we embark on this project, it is truly exhilarating to be given the opportunity to lead our team to a fresh, new destination.” Luisa shares, “Kolkata’s rich cultural tapestry and vibrant energy present an ideal backdrop for Ozen Mansion Kolkata. Offering a personalized indulgent experience, we are actively recruiting approximately 700 direct and indirect employees to manage our guests and the large MICE and wedding operations. With diversity at the forefront of the hiring strategy, we are committed to building a team that ensures an inclusive environment for all.”
The Ozen Mansion Kolkata, a magnificent hotel situated in the vibrant New Town of Kolkata and enclosed by 6 acres of verdant gardens, is an impressive choice for travelers.
