The Guest

Kalindi is CEO of PoB Hotels. She has worked in the industry for over 20 years and took over the running of PoB Hotels in 2021. Since then she has overseen the strategical repositioning of the brand with a new visual and verbal expression, including a new website, online magazine, and pretty much every touch point. Her ambition for this new direction builds on their growing appeal to a wider, affluent audience but also underpins their core values.
