Timothy M. Kelly, President of Atlantis Global, has announced his departure from the company after almost seven years at the helm of the Dubai destination resort.
During his tenure, Kelly oversaw unprecedented growth and development for the Atlantis brand, including the opening of the ultra-luxury Atlantis The Royal in 2023.
“It has been my honour to work with and share this journey with the best team on the planet. I am so thankful to our many leaders and colleagues that provided this incredible platform for success,” Kelly said in a heartfelt LinkedIn post on Tuesday.
Expansion and sustainability at Atlantis
Under Kelly’s leadership, Atlantis achieved record-breaking financial results and high marks in guest service and colleague satisfaction. His tenure saw the expansion of Aquaventure into the world’s largest waterpark and the implementation of the award-winning Atlantis Atlas Project sustainability initiative. Kelly also spearheaded Atlantis’ transformation into a world-class gastronomy destination, featuring restaurants from celebrity chefs.
“We thank Tim Kelly for his dedication and hard work at Kerzner International. Under his leadership, Tim ensured Atlantis continued to outperform its own impressive figures year-on-year. With Tim’s departure, he leaves behind a team of legacy makers, empowered to keep pushing boundaries,” said Philippe Zuber, CEO of Kerzner International.
