Lets Go Maldives is delighted to share exciting leadership updates from Sun Siyam Iru Veli, one of the Maldives’ most celebrated luxury all-inclusive resorts. Continuing its strong commitment to developing local talent and fostering leadership from within, the resort has announced two significant internal promotions: Mohamed Najah as Resort Manager and Shimhad Ali as Director of Human Resources.
A Decade of Dedication: Mohamed Najah Steps into the Role of Resort Manager
Having been part of the Sun Siyam Resorts family for nearly ten years, Mohamed Najah has played a pivotal role in several of the brand’s major milestones-from the Olhuveli Romance expansion to the openings of Sun Siyam Pasikudah and Siyam World.
Joining Iru Veli in 2023 as Director of Food & Beverage, Najah’s leadership, operational insight, and strong rapport with his team quickly propelled him to Director of Operations and now Resort Manager. His vision centers around empowering staff, optimizing operational performance, and further elevating the guest experience-key elements that continue to define Iru Veli’s reputation for excellence.
Empowering People: Shimhad Ali Appointed Director of Human Resources
Equally noteworthy is the promotion of Shimhad Ali, who has advanced from Human Resources Manager to Director of Human Resources within just one year. Known for his inclusive leadership style and ability to cultivate collaboration, Shimhad has been instrumental in shaping a workplace culture that values personal growth, diversity, and empowerment.
With years of experience across some of the Maldives’ top resorts, Shimhad’s focus remains on nurturing homegrown talent-a core value of Sun Siyam’s broader vision to develop future Maldivian hospitality leaders.
A Testament to Sun Siyam’s Growth and Commitment
Commenting on these promotions, Deepak Booneady, Chief Executive Officer of Sun Siyam Resorts, emphasized that these appointments reflect the group’s dedication to both internal development and strategic evolution:
“These promotions mark another important step in strengthening our leadership across key markets. At Sun Siyam, we take immense pride in developing talent from within while embracing professionals who bring international expertise to our brand. This blend of local passion and global perspective continues to drive the authentic spirit of Sun Siyam.”
