Glion Institute of Higher Education, Global. GIHE has announced the appointment of Frédéric Picard as its new managing director. Before taking the role, Frédéric spent his career in the luxury hotel industry, both in Europe and internationally. He has worked for some of the world’s leading hotel groups including Le Méridien Bangkok, Intercontinental Paris, Jumeirah Dubaï, Kerzner International Morocco, Oetker Collection and La Réserve Paris, which was awarded to the highest hotel certification “Palace” only 18 months after its opening, as well as two stars Michelin.
