Thomas B Meier named CEO of Jumeirah

New boss at Dubai-based hospitality brand to drive global growth

Jumeirah, the Dubai-based hospitality brand behind iconic properties such as Jumeirah Burj Al Arab, has named Thomas B Meier as its new Chief Executive Officer.

Meier is tasked with overseeing the next stage of growth as Jumeirah aims to double its portfolio from 30 to 60 properties by 2030.

He has served as Chief Operating Officer since October 2021 and as interim CEO. In 2024, Meier oversaw Jumeirah’s entry into Africa as well as other upcoming launches closer to home.

“Jumeirah has always set new benchmarks in luxury hospitality, consistently delivering extraordinary guest experiences,” said Meier.

“As we gear up for the opening of Jumeirah Marsa Al Arab and continue to expand into new markets, I'm honoured to lead Jumeirah’s next chapter. With bold ambitions, Jumeirah will continue to innovate, staying ahead of industry trends and exceeding the ever-evolving expectations of the most discerning guests.

“Our vision is to establish Jumeirah as one of the foremost influential hospitality brands worldwide.”

In addition to two new hotel openings in Africa, Jumeirah Thanda Island in Tanzania and Jumeirah Thanda Safari in South Africa, there are plans to launch Jumeirah Red Sea in Saudi Arabia and Jumeirah Le Richemond Geneva in Switzerland.

A member of Dubai Holding, Jumeirah operates a portfolio across the Middle East, Europe, Asia and Africa.
