Roxana Jaffer, CEO – Holiday Inn Dubai – Al Barsha

Born in Kenya, Roxana Jaffer began her education and career in London where she went on to become a seasoned professional and entrepreneurial powerhouse. She serves as the CEO Sovereign Hotels and is currently head of of the Holiday Inn Dubai – Al Barsha; an award winning hotel she has steered successfully towards becoming a competitive force in the hospitality forefront of Dubai.

Her journey in Dubai began by managing and supervising the construction and commission of two properties – no easy task. Unfazed by hard work Roxana’s desire, commitment, adaptability and leadership soon began to yield positive results, with properties under her management were in full bloom and competing with the best in Dubai.

As if managing a property in Dubai wasn’t enough Roxana’s thirst to continuously improve saw her complete an MBA in Leadership at the University of Liverpool. Which culminated in her widely quoted dissertation “Servant Leadership: A must for the 21st Century Global Leader”.

After complete her MBA Roxana, like any other confident leader, went about putting her theory of “Servant -Leadership” into practice. This in turn has led to over 300 fully engaged, committed and loyal employees. All managed by individuals adhering to the philosophy of “Servent-Leader”, that is to lead with integrity, respect & love.

Her social entrepreneurship led her to the formation of a Non Government Organization, abcF – “Advent in Building Human Capital”. The NGO delivers a specially formulated educational program – “English for Hospitality Professionals” to build human capital, presently running programmes in India, Pakistan, and Dubai with plans to take it to Tanzania. Graduates certified through the nearly free learning being accorded by specially trained tutors are given an opportunity for employment in the hospitality industry, both locally and in the Middle East.
She is a regular panellist or a presenter at seminars and empowerment summits. Amidst all the hustle and bustle, she does not forget that a human being also needs spiritual sustenance and regular meditation is an integral part of her life.

Outside of the hotel industry Roxana has managed the advent in building human capital (abcF), a non government organisation designed to deliver specially formulated Education programmes, to India, Pakistan, Dubai and soon Tanzania. Roxana is an avid bridge player, music lover, teacher and a student of meditation.

In today’s, high powers and increasingly competitive corporate world Roxana is indeed a study in exceptionalism.
