Concorde Hotels Adds New Members to Sales Team

Concorde Hotels & Resorts appointed several new executives to its global sales team, to oversee the hotel group’s sales initiatives worldwide. Oliver Daurat, global sales manager, who previously held sales and operations positions within the group and at Hotel Concorde La Fayette, will manage the international sales offices in France, the United States, Japan, the United Kingdom, Russia and Spain.

In addition, he will also represent the group in Canada, Brazil, Mexico and Australia, as well as manage a team of 33 sales agents and more than a thousand accounts. Roger Saad, sales manager, Middle East and the Embassies, will be tasked with managing the development of all the Middle Eastern market segments.

Saad has an extensive background in sales, which stems from his previous positions as sales executive of corporate and leisure segments and deputy sales manager at the Hotel Hyatt Regency Dubai & Galleria in the United Emirates.

Gaëlle Grelat, major accounts manager, recently served as sales and marketing manager at Hotel du Louvre and will now be responsible for developing business for all the group’s hotels in France.

Anne-Sophie Diligent, director of key accounts in the France sales department, will manage and develop the day-to-day portfolio of Parisian agencies in the meetings/groups industry, primarily for the owned hotels of the group in the South of France (Villa Massalia in Marseille, Palais de la Méditerranée in Nice, Hotel Martinez in Cannes).
