Sasindu Don has been promoted Director of Finance at Sofitel Dubai Downtown
In the ever-evolving symphony of Sofitel Dubai Downtown, a new crescendo has been reached. With quiet determination and a mind sharpened by precision, Sasindu Don has journeyed from Financial Controller to Director of Finance, orchestrating success with the kind of clarity and calm that defines true leadership.
Since joining the luxury property in the heart of Downtown Dubai 7 years past, Sasindu has been the silent force behind its financial finesse. Under his stewardship, the hotel has seen record-breaking gross operating profit, a streamlined procurement process that trimmed costs without compromising luxury, and the implementation of a real-time forecasting model that transformed the decision-making landscape across departments.
But numbers alone don't capture Sasindu's legacy. A respected collaborator and mentor, he introduced dynamic reporting tools that empowered department heads with greater financial autonomy, building bridges between finance and operations in a way that felt both modern and human. His ability to balance bottom-line focus with top-tier guest experience made him not just a financial steward, but a true custodian of the brand's soul.
In his new role, Sasindu will continue to chart the financial future of Sofitel Dubai Downtown, aligning commercial strategy with the hotel's audacious spirit and refined elegance. He will oversee forecasting, budgeting, compliance, and investment strategy, with an eye on long-term growth and resilience.
With this new chapter, Sofitel Dubai Downtown reaffirms its belief in cultivating talent from within, honouring those who don't just manage luxury, but who live it.
