Khan takes up Marriott Fiji marketing role

Award-winning marketer Areez Khan brings more than a decade of experience across hospitality and other sectors to his new role with Marriott Fiji.

He was appointed multi-property director of marketing for Fiji Hotels, effective from July 27.

In his new role, Mr Khan will lead the Fiji Marketing team’s operations and support all resorts within Marriott’s Fiji portfolio.

He brings extensive experience and a proven track record in marketing across the hospitality, aviation, fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG), and telecommunications sectors.

An award-winning marketer, Mr Khan has held senior leadership positions for more than a decade. Most recently, he served as cluster director of sales and marketing for Accor’s PME Hotels in Fiji, where he shaped the commercial strategy for three properties.

Originally from Tavua, Mr Khan said the opportunity to showcase Fiji to the world was one of the key reasons he was excited about the new role.

“The opportunity for me is to showcase Fiji to the world and also work alongside talented team members and industry partners to create impactful marketing, favourable experiences and continue to strengthen Fiji’s position as a world-class destination,” he said.

He will be based on Denarau Island and report directly to Sera Seruvatu, market director of marketing for Fiji and Samoa.

Outside work, Mr Khan enjoys outdoor activities including fishing and snorkelling, as well as gaming and spending quality time with his family.
