Patrick’s professional background and excellent people skills have been a winning mix for bringing all resorts under his management to new heights; the popularity of one of the Maldives’ most romantic resorts, Komandoo, and the outstanding guest feedback that Hurawalhi is receiving, are examples of Patrick’s determination to exceed bottom line expectations and his drive to attain the best possible performance, Kuredu said in a statement.

Earlier, Patrick also served as the Director of Food and Beverages at leading properties including Grand Copthorne Waterfront Hotel in Singapore, Mövenpick Hotels and Resorts and Meeru Island Resort and Spa.
