Mr Boidin is a specialist in international luxury hotels, with 36 years spent with the InterContinental Group. He was recently the head of the Group’s Luxury Division for Europe, after serving as Vice-President of Operations for the Mediterranean region between 2003 and 2010.
During his career, Mr Boidin has also managed prestigious establishments, including the InterContinental in London and Montreal, the Grand Hotel in Paris and the Carlton in Cannes.
“I am delighted to put my international experience and my know-how at the service of a prestigious group such as Monte-Carlo Société des Bains de Mer. I will put my enthusiasm and my ability to build and manage (our) objectives.”
The General Management and the Executive Committee of the Monte-Carlo Group said that they welcome him and wish Mr Boidin success in the ambitious challenges that await him.
