NOVEMBER 16, 2006. One&Only Resorts is pleased to welcome Jan Tibaldi as General Manager of One&Only Le Saint Geran in Mauritius and Hector de Galard as General Manager of One&Only Kanuhurra in the Maldives.
"We feel very fortunate to be able to congratulate Jan and Hector on their exciting new positions with One&Only," says Paul T. Jones, One&Only Resorts Chief Operating Officer. "Both Jan and Hector will be a great asset to the company in their new roles. I am confident that with their energy and experience the resorts will continue to exceed guest expectations and deliver the true One&Only experience."
Jan Tibaldi will replace Mauro Governato, newly appointed General Manager at One&Only Ocean Club in the Bahamas, as the General Manager at One&Only Le Saint Geran in Mauritius. The 163-room resort, boasting an award-winning golf course and spa, is located off the south eastern coast of Africa. "For many, visiting Mauritius is a dream realized," says Tibaldi, former General Manager of One&Only Kanuhura in the Maldives. "I look forward to continuing to provide our guests with impeccable service and unforgettable experiences," says Tibaldi.
Hector de Galard, a member of the One&Only family since 2005, will replace Tibaldi as General Manager of One&Only Kanuhurra in the Maldives, a hideaway in the Indian Ocean that offers access to some of the world's best dive sites. De Galard was responsible for the opening and management of Paraiso de La Bonita in Mexico and the first luxury resort in Morocco for AmanResorts. Prior to his appointment as General Manager of Kanuhurra, De Galard worked as General Manager for One&Only Touessrok. "Hector has been a great asset to our team in Mauritius and we are excited about his move to the Maldives," says Jones.
