The extremely successful Four Seasons Resort Koh
Samui has appointed Jasjit Assi as General Manager.
Jasjit, or JJ as he is more commonly known, has
nearly two decades of hospitality industry experience, including
more than 15 years with Four Seasons.
JJ’s career with Four Seasons began when he joined
the pre-opening team of Four Seasons Hotel Mumbai in 2006. After
five successful years establishing the Food and Beverage
operations in Mumbai, he was transferred to his first overseas
assignment as Director of Food and Beverage at Four Seasons Resort
Chiang Mai in northern Thailand.
After demonstrating a keen business acumen and
dynamic leadership style, JJ was appointed as the Director of Food
and Beverage at Four Seasons Hotel Sydney, giving him the
opportunity to further hone his management skills.
After just two years there, he returned to Four
Seasons Hotel Mumbai in 2016 as Hotel Manager before heading back
to Thailand to join the launch team of Four Seasons Hotel Bangkok
at Chao Phraya in 2019 in the same role, his most recent position
before heading south to the popular tourist island of Samui.
“I like to engage with my colleagues as peers,
learning from their experiences,” JJ said. “And together, our goal
is to deliver an exceptional quality of service, with engaging
storytelling woven into unparalleled experiences. We are keen to
get involved more deeply with the local community here,
collaborating with them in sustainable and meaningful ways.”
As passionate about sports and fitness as he is
about hospitality, JJ is equally competitive in a game of squash
or tennis, however, his new fond hobby is the love for cycling and
dreams of finishing a week of the Tour de France circuit in the
future.
