MARAM

In Arabic, Maram expresses aspiration the intention to improve, elevate and move towards something better.

We work alongside the organisations shaping hospitality and travel across luxury, lifestyle, and wellness. Our mission is to find, develop, and support the exceptional leaders who turn bold ambition into lasting impact.

Who We Are

Maram Global was created by two founders whose careers lived within the very ecosystem they now serve.

Hoda Tahoun

Longevity, wellbeing and genuine restoration are no longer add-ons for luxury hospitality and travel. The leaders who will define the next era of luxury need to understand that at as part of their DNA, not just a strategic one. That thinking isn’t just professional for me, it’s personal.

Hoda Tahoun

Founder and Chief Executive Officer

Hoda brings two decades of expertise in the talent advisory space within hospitality, travel and wellness. She has advised organisations from the outside — combining the discipline of institutional talent consulting with the understanding of a genuine industry insider.

Her relationships and track record span the Americas, Europe, North Africa, the Gulf Countries Council and Asia — built over years of working at the intersection of leadership, culture, experiences, operational excellence and commercial performance.

5,000+

Conversations with Boards, CEOs and executive leaders.

Sarah Bisa

Luxury travel is where innovation happens and trends are defined. It has never been about offering accommodation. Casting and connection the right leaders who get to shape the future is therefore more than “talent placement”. So where else would you want to work if you genuinely like to change the world?

Sarah Bisa

Co-Founder and Chief Operating Officer

Sarah brings a career of over two decades immersed in the operational and commercial reality of luxury hospitality across four continents. From yachts to flagship hotels and island resorts to global sales leadership, she carries with her a fluency in luxury standards, customer experience and the organisational dynamics that shape it.

Her perspective ensures that every project is grounded in the realities of what it takes to lead, perform and transform within luxury, lifestyle and wellness organisations.

1,000+

Partnerships on hotel openings around the world.
Commercial success stories across 60+ brands.
