Ralph Porciani appointed to spearhead expansion

JA Resorts & Hotels has appointed a new Chief Executive Officer.

Ralph Porciani brings four decades of hospitality experience and a track record of leadership in luxury hotel brands to the role.

A third of Porciani’s career was spent in central London luxury hotels, followed by another 20 years at Trump Turnberry in Scotland.

He attributes his passion for personalised service and customising guest experiences to his Scottish-Italian roots. His earliest roles in hospitality included working at his family's fish restaurant before moving to central London.

In his new role, Ralph will spearhead the expansion of JA Resorts & Hotels, a homegrown Dubai brand.

His focus will be on developing talent and fostering innovation, enhancing guest engagement through digital transformation and sustainability, and reinforcing the brand’s strong repeat business.

“We are delighted to welcome Ralph to JA Resorts & Hotels. His leadership and passion for hospitality make him the perfect fit to guide the brand through its next phase of growth,” said Nelson Gibb, Group Chief Executive Office of parent company Dutco Group.

“We look forward to seeing JA Resorts & Hotels flourish under his guidance while staying true to the values that have made it a beloved brand for so many years.”
