Six Senses has announced the appointments of Harry Tangalos as Commercial Director and Linda Schneegass as Regional Director of Marketing for the Maldives. Together, they will be overseeing Six Senses Laamu, renowned for its secluded luxury and bountiful marine life, as well as the recently opened Six Senses Kanuhura, celebrated for its picture-perfect beach setting.
Harry Tangalos, Commercial Director Maldives
With over 30 years of international experience in the high end hospitality sector and 12 years with the Six Senses family, Harry brings a wealth of expertise and profound brand knowledge to his new role. Previously, Harry headed the commercial team at Six Senses Zil Pasyon in Seychelles, worked as regional DOSM for Six Senses properties in Thailand and was part of the pre-opening team at Six Senses Krabey Island, Cambodia and Six Senses Bhutan.
Harry’s personal passions include being active outdoors, whether hiking, cycling, or any pursuits that bring him closer to the sea. He looks forward to exploring the turquoise waters of the Maldives in greater depth.
Linda Schneegass, Regional Director of Marketing
Joining as Regional Director of Marketing is Linda Schneegass, transferring from Six Senses Ibiza, where she managed marketing communications from the pre-opening phase of the resort in 2021. With previous experience at the award-winning Kamalaya Wellness Sanctuary in Thailand and various Ayurveda resorts in India and Sri Lanka, Linda brings with her an in-depth understanding of holistic wellness. She appreciates the restorative potential of a barefoot island life and embraces the rejuvenating power of vitamin ‘sea’.
“We are excited to welcome Harry and Linda to the Six Senses Maldives team,” says Marteyne van Well, Regional General Manager. “I am confident their combined expertise will lead to a continued success of both our very distinct properties, while also ensuring growth and further strengthening relationships with our key partners. “
