Priya Desai · Cluster Finance Manager

Paul,

With Valor expanding its managed portfolio across the UK, I wanted to put a specific profile in front of you rather than a generic approach.

We are currently representing a Cluster Finance Manager with seven years at IHG Hotels & Resorts, whose standout experience is having managed the finance function across a four-hotel cluster through a live brand conversion in Manchester. That means multi-property P&L ownership, owner reporting to USALI standards, and revenue finance under real operational pressure, not a textbook exercise.

For a business adding managed properties and navigating operator transitions, that learning curve is already behind this candidate. They are available on four weeks' notice.

If the timing is relevant to where Valor's pipeline sits, I am happy to share the full CV and a brief verbal overview. Worth a conversation?

Kind regards,
Dan

Hi Mizanur,

I wanted to bring a candidate to your attention who I think maps unusually well onto Accor's multi-brand cluster structure in Manchester.

They are currently Cluster Finance Manager at IHG Hotels & Resorts, where they have spent seven years managing P&L across a four-property cluster in the city. What stands out is that they led the finance function through a full brand conversion across that cluster, so they understand the complexity of running competing branded assets under a single finance team, including owner reporting, consolidated P&L ownership, and the USALI discipline that comes with operating across multiple flags simultaneously.

That is a fairly specific set of hands-on experience, and it translates directly to what a Director of Finance role within Accor's Manchester portfolio would demand.

They are available on four weeks' notice. I am happy to share their CV if this is of interest.

Kind regards,

Hi Lubaynah,

I wanted to put a specific candidate in front of you rather than send a broad introduction.

We are currently representing a Cluster Finance Manager with seven years at IHG, where they have had full P&L ownership across a four-hotel Manchester portfolio. What sets them apart is having steered that cluster's finance function through a complete brand conversion, maintaining reporting integrity and owner-ready financials throughout a period most finance teams find genuinely disruptive.

Given Marriott's own multi-property cluster structure in Manchester, operating at a comparable mid-scale-to-upscale tier, the transferability here is direct rather than aspirational. The USALI knowledge, the cluster reporting cadence and the stakeholder management are all built on a like-for-like operating model.

They are available on four weeks' notice and are open to a conversation.

Would it be worth a brief call to discuss further?

Kind regards,

Hi Angela,

I wanted to bring a candidate to your attention who I think is a strong fit for Radisson's current growth trajectory in the UK.

They are a Cluster Finance Manager from IHG with seven years in branded hotel finance, and the detail that stood out to me immediately is this: they led cluster P&L across a four-hotel portfolio through a full brand conversion. Given Radisson's active conversion pipeline, that is hands-on, directly transferable experience rather than theoretical familiarity with the process.

Their background covers cluster P&L ownership, revenue finance, and the kind of multi-property reporting discipline that conversion periods demand. They are based in a commutable range for Manchester and are available on four weeks' notice.

I have not shared your details with them at this stage. If the profile sounds relevant, I am happy to send the full CV for your review.

Kind regards,
Dan
