Sherif Hanna
@sherifhanna
I build operational strategy, property portfolios, and transformation programs across hospitality, real estate, and logistics.
What I'm looking for
I've led strategy, operations, acquisitions, and transformation across Hilltopview Consultancy, ThinkLink Business Development Solutions, GV Investment Group, Hostmaker, and Carillion. At Hostmaker, I managed short-let communities spanning 4,500 apartments and 113 commercial units, maintaining 88.4% occupancy in London and 91.7% in Greater London.
I turn business concepts into structured operating models, from a £20M short-rental property expansion and £1.16M facilities-management contracts to international franchising and the restructuring of an EGP 4.5 billion real estate portfolio. I combine commercial analysis, workforce development, quality systems, and Lean, Agile, Six Sigma, 5S, PDCA, and TQM practices to build sustainable growth.
