International hospitality company Atmosphere Core has announced two key appointments: accomplished hotelier and senior leader of the company, Philippe Clavelotte, has been appointed vice president of operations and general manager of RAAYA By Atmosphere, and continuing its longstanding tradition of hiring women in leadership roles, OBLU SELECT Sangeli has appointed Jeni Hartatic as general manager.
Philippe Claverotte’s career spans nearly 30 years and includes working with renowned luxury hotel groups and resorts in 12 countries. This appointment marks his seventh leadership role in a luxury property. A French national, Philippe joined Atmosphere Core in 2019 as General Manager of Atmosphere Kanifushi. In February 2021, he moved to VARU by Atmosphere as General Manager, leading the team for three years. Philippe has an impressive track record within the company, including the recent rebranding and relaunch of OBLU NATURE Helengeli by SENTIDO.
Philippe had this to say about his new role and the island concept: “RAAYA by Atmosphere offers a guest experience like no other – one that balances escapism and energy. Our island is deeply rooted in personal expression and we want to create moments of well-being at every turn. As we reinvent the brand, I remain focused on driving our operations and business strategy, as well as nurturing my team to anticipate, build and elevate every guest interaction to truly deliver on our brand promise: ‘Experiences Await.'”
Fluent in French, English and Spanish, Philippe brings a magical touch to the hospitality industry, naturally inspiring and leading diverse teams to foster a culture of excellence. Philippe’s extensive industry experience combined with his deep understanding of the company’s mission, “Joy of Giving,” makes him the perfect fit for RAAYA by Atmosphere, which is scheduled to launch on July 4, 2024.
The second key appointment is the appointment of veteran hotelier Jeni Hartatic as General Manager of OBLU SELECT Sangeli, the COLOURS OF OBLU brand’s tranquil private island. Jeni brings more than 25 years of luxury hospitality expertise and a spirit of making the impossible possible.
“Attitude determines altitude,” says Jeni Hartatic. Explaining this philosophy, she says, “Coming from another island nation, Indonesia, I can easily relate to the hospitality culture deep in the Maldivian heart – anticipating our guests’ needs and doing everything we can to make their dreams a reality. The vibrant island lifestyle and fantastic vacation packages at OBLU SELECT Sangeli are popular with travellers from all over the world, and I look forward to continuing this tradition of excellent service and elevating our guests’ vacation experience to new heights while meeting and exceeding our business goals.”
Originally from Indonesia, Jeni Hartatic has held senior positions in prestigious properties around the world, including General Manager and Director of Sales & Marketing for international hotels in Indonesia and China. Having successfully progressed in her career, she is well-equipped to seamlessly manage various aspects of resort operations, mentor and develop her team to reach their full potential. Jeni has continuously honed her skills through specialized training and international exposure gained from hands-on experience in high-yield markets in Asia, Africa, Europe and North America. She is fluent in English, Chinese and Indonesian, and is also studying Japanese, Cambodian and German.
