About

Thomas B. Meier, CEO of Jumeirah Group, brings over two decades of luxury hospitality leadership.

A graduate of École Hôtelière de Lausanne, he built his career across Asia before leading Raffles’ global operations. He later spearheaded flagship openings and integrations for Fairmont, Swissôtel, and Raffles, then served as SVP of Operations at Minor Hotels.

Now at Jumeirah, part of Dubai Holding, Meier is executing an ambitious global expansion strategy, aiming to double the brand’s portfolio by 2030. In 2024, he led Jumeirah’s high-profile entry into Africa while strengthening the leadership team.
