Jean-Marie Le Gall will take over as the General Manager of Hôtel Barrière Le Fouquet’s in Paris in September. The hospitality leader has 28 years of experience in operational strategy, sales and marketing management in the luxury hotel sector in France and internationally.

Following his studies as a graduate of the Sorbonne, this hotel enthusiast began his career working in the commercial services of large hotel groups such as Starwood Méridien, Hilton, Accor, Concorde and InterContinental.

In 2010, the Royal Monceau in Paris trusted him for the post of sales and marketing director. In 2012, it was the Plaza Athénée’s turn to welcome him to the same role. In 2014, Le Gall was offered the position of operations manager at the luxurious Majestic Hotel in Barcelona.

Four years later, still in the same city, he took over the general management of the Palace Hotel (formerly Ritz). These two experiences in the Catalan capital prepared him for the new challenges that will come as general manager of Hôtel Barrière Le Fouquet’s Paris.
