Oleg Kafarov - Graduate of The Emirates Academy of Hospitality Management

"I decided to join the Academy after graduating from the Moscow State University of International Relations as I always felt passionate about travelling and hospitality. The Emirates Academy was my prime choice for its superb facilities, highly-professional lecturers who are unsurpassed experts in their fields, world class image and affiliation with Jumeirah. I highly value the personal and very open approach of the Academy to its students, its continuous care, commitment and support.

The unique trait of the Academy is the opportunity to have classes and real-life experience in the world’s most admired and celebrated properties. I had my internship in the Marketing Department of Madinat Jumeirah, The Arabian Resort of Dubai, and then management training in the Sales & Marketing Department of Burj Al Arab, both of which proved to be very valuable and beneficial for my future career. I polished and enhanced my skills in various fields of advertising, promotion, public relations and brand development."

"I then joined the Executive Chairman’s Office as Executive Research Analyst, where I was working closely with Gerald Lawless and getting further insight into the corporate world of Jumeirah Group. After a year I moved on to the Development Team as Development Manager. I am now devoting my time to researching market trends with focus on Eastern Europe and the CIS.

My future professional aspirations are associated with Jumeirah, as I believe this company has a tremendous potential and has already established itself as one of the finest world-class luxury international hotel and hospitality management groups.

I am always proud to make the statement of having graduated from the Emirates Academy – by all means this is a significant milestone in my life."

Oleg recieved his diploma in International Hospitality Operations (A.Sc.) In November 2007.
