Today we’d like to introduce you to Nasir Zahir.

Nasir, can you briefly walk us through your story – how you started and how you got to where you are today.
I started my hotel career in 80’s with Four Seasons. And worked my way up to become hotel general manager and now hotel consultant. I have been a mentor to many team members.

In 2005 we founded “NZ Hospitality” to help all the hospitality industry professionals, owners and companies to improve their top line, profitability, guest service scores and guest services.

Passionate hotelier. Worked for many leading three to five star/Diamond hotels, such as Four Seasons, Stouffer’s, Hyatt International, Radisson, IHG and Starwood Hotels, Hilton Hotels, Sheraton International including independent hotels and held different executive positions within the industry.

Our Moto is, we make things happen, we don’t let them happen.

Great, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
It was great when we started consulting business in 2005, but in 2007 when the economy took a major dive we had to close down the business. In 2014 when Sheraton hotel in Houston was sold and new company laid me off, I decided to re-open NZ Hospitality. We are a very small company as the saying goes “Small fish in a big pond”. Sometimes it is difficult to find assignments, but we stay focused and hopeful to find new assignments.

NZ Hospitality – what should we know? What do you guys do best? What sets you apart from the competition?
NZ Hospitality is a full service hospitality recruiting, management and consulting company created to provide hotel owners with a complete suite of hotel services. NZH services can be provided on a short or long term basis. Services offered are: hotel third party management, hotel asset management, task force implementation, receivership, new business development/acquisition, operations and sales and marketing consulting for hotels.

NZH’s resources are allocated and focused to meet the specific needs of each owner in the most cost- effective manner possible to develop a mutually beneficial business relationship between the company and ownership.

When I am finishing my assignment and an associates or middle manager approaches me and tells me “Thank you so much for teaching and showing us how to take care of the guests”. That moment is my proudest moment and set us apart from other companies.

What moment in your career do you look back most fondly on?
One of our proudest moment was when we did consulting assignment in Houston for a 700 rooms Radisson hotel. We developed a dry steak concept restaurant and named Stetson. First month restaurant opened it surpassed the budget by $30 K.
