As Associate Director of Sales, Shaw will take on a broader commercial leadership role at Fairfield by Marriott Vadodara.
His previous experience in hotel sales includes responsibility for wedding business, sales management and client-facing commercial functions. This background provides experience across both general hotel sales and the specialised wedding segment.
Shaw joins the Vadodara property after more than three years with Novotel Kolkata Hotel and Residences, where he progressed through two sales positions.

His early hospitality experience was with Courtyard by Marriott, where he worked across events. He served as Events Coordinator from April 2018 and subsequently held the position of Event Executive from April 2019 to October 2019.
