Untold - Showtune Shane

1h 10m | May 25, 2021

This episode follows the career of the dynamic larger than life character, Showtune Shane Jameson.


From Country Victoria, Shane studied Hospitality in Melbourne as well as honing his love for fine coffee running Hudson's Coffee early each morning next to the Stock Market - providing caffeine and a refuge for traders looking for a much needed break.


Shane then headed to the Middle East, taking up a banqueting position at Jebel Ali Resort and Spa for the princely sum of 1,000 Dirhams a month.


Shane moved into Sales and his career really started to take off. Under the mentorship of David Thompson, Shane learned the leisure business inside out travelling the globe promoting the resort and Dubai as a destination. Shane then spent time with IHG across the Indian Ocean and Deira before joining Jumeirah. This chapter is worthy of a book in itself as Shane shares his experiences selling Al Naseem and Burj Al Arab and shamelessly name drops his favourite encounters with the global A List.


Shane is now in Bangkok with IHG writing the next chapter and awaiting the opening up of International travel and with exciting projects including a Bill Bensley project and a new Kimpton in Koh Samui, Shane is in his element and is leaving his indelible personality on the group.


The episodes intro and outro is kindly provided by Shane who has a residency at the Rosewood Bangkok and has a voice that makes a welshman jealous. Enjoy.
