Dear team, My name is Dr. Ioannis Kazalis, and I am reaching out to formally register with Crewin and express my strong interest in exploring new leadership opportunities within the superyacht industry. I am currently employed as Royal Hotel Manager aboard M/Y Al Salamah, one of the most iconic and prestigious private yachts operating globally. In this role, I oversee the full scope of hospitality operations for an ultra-VVIP clientele, ensuring exceptional service delivery in a high-security, high-expectation environment. With more than 20 years of executive leadership in luxury hospitality and cruise operations, I bring a proven record of success in newbuilds, ship launches, dry docks, and full-cycle hotel management. My previous roles include Start-Up Hotel Director for MSC Seashore and MSC Seascape in the U.S. market, as well as Senior F&B Director during the inaugural launch of Norwegian Epic. I have held senior roles with MSC Cruises, Norwegian Cruise Line, and other top-tier brands. In addition to my professional experience, I hold a Doctorate in Business Administration and an MSc in Audit Management, reinforcing a leadership style that is strategic, data-driven, and people-oriented. My focus has always been on elevating service excellence, team cohesion, and guest satisfaction in fast-paced, multicultural environments. I am now seeking my next challenge—ideally within a dynamic, forward-thinking yacht program where I can contribute at the highest level. I have attached my updated CV for your review and would greatly value any consideration for current or upcoming Hotel Manager or senior operational roles aboard 100m+ yachts. Please don’t hesitate to contact me should a suitable opportunity arise. I look forward to the opportunity to collaborate with your esteemed team. Kind regards, Dr. Ioannis Kazalis
