I am writing to express my keen interest in the Director of Finance position. With over 25 years of progressive experience in hotel finance across the Middle East, I offer a strong record of financial leadership, operational excellence, and strategic insight that aligns with the dynamic demands of modern hospitality organizations. Currently, I serve as the Financial Controller at Park Inn by Radisson, Al Khobar, where I lead all aspects of financial management, compliance, budgeting, forecasting, and internal control. My role includes working closely with executive leadership and ownership groups to align financial strategies with long-term business objectives. Throughout my career, I have been instrumental in multiple hotel pre-openings, where I established finance functions from the ground up, implemented financial systems, and built high-performing teams that supported seamless operational launches. My expertise includes: - Budgeting, forecasting, and financial planning - Statutory compliance and internal audits - Team leadership and training - Financial reporting and performance analysis - Strategic cost control and profitability enhancement What sets me apart is my ability to balance financial discipline with operational understanding, which enables me to contribute not just as a number’s leader, but as a strategic business partner. I am also highly adaptable, culturally attuned, and committed to delivering value in fast-paced, quality-driven environments. Warm regards, Fadi Haddad
