A well-known marketeer in Dubai, Colette Sullivan has left Radisson after four years to join Fairmont Hotels and Resorts, which is now headquartered in the emirates.

Prior to the Fairmont, Colette worked at the legandary Radisson Blu Hotel, Dubai Deira Creek as its manager of PR and marketing.
Sullivan also led the opening campaign of Radisson RED's debut in the Middle East. Despite opening during the pandemic, it made its mark in the city. Within six months, the hotel was awarded Highly Commended as Mid-Market Hotel of the Year at the Hotelier Middle East Awards 2020. Sullivan also launched the RED brand in the UK in Glasgow. She then acted as a consultant on the opening marketing campaign of Radisson RED Johannesburg.
Sullivan was named the CIM 2020 Rising Star of Travel Marketing at the UK Travel Marketing Awards and was included in the first Hotelier Middle East 30 under 30 list, along with our Marketing Power List features.
Sullivan worked in retail marketing at head office level for UK brands such as Mamas & Papas and Arran Aromatics before moving into hospitality.
Coming from Radisson's trendy RED brand, Sullivan joins the historic Accor brand during a time of transformation.
At the end of 2022, the brand signed the Fairmont Skyline in Dubai, one of the brand's most modern hotels in its 90-property portfolio.
