Deandra Shivana steps up into new role

Kempinski Hotel Muscat has promoted Deandra Shivana to Assistant Director of Marketing Communications. In this role, she continues to lead the hotel's marketing and communications efforts, overseeing brand positioning, digital performance, PR, and revenue-driving campaigns across rooms, F&B, spa, and events. 

Deandra joined the hotel chain in 2024, moving from Anantara Hotels, Resorts and Spas, where she spent close to four years based in Abu Dhabi and Bali. She also brings experience from Jumeirah Bali.

Deandra reports directly to Karim ElBerkchi, Hotel Manager. On the promotion, he said, "What sets Deandra apart is her ability to find the magic in every project she touches. It is one thing to manage a brand, but quite another to make people feel something through a campaign. As she steps into the role of Assistant Director, I am excited to see her bring that same creative wonder to our wider strategic vision."

Deandra said, "I’m thrilled to take on this new challenge. My time in the marketing department has always been driven by a simple goal. One of them is to match our creative storytelling with the world-class experience our guests deserve. As Assistant Director, I’m ready to push those boundaries further, ensuring our voice is as sophisticated and authentic as the stay itself."
