Alp Aksoy, Vice President of Hospitality at Diversey Africa, Middle East and Turkey, started working in the hospitality industry about 25 years ago.

He globally managed Diversey teams for esteemed brands such as Hilton, Accor, IHG, Kempinski, Wyndham, and Best Western to deliver hygiene solutions for improved guest satisfaction and the safety of guests and staff; while reducing total costs and the impact on the environment.

He has initiated efforts with governments in Egypt, Turkey, Poland, and China to improve the perception of hygiene and food safety in restaurants; stressing that good hygiene is a prerequisite for sustainability in the F&B business, and life itself.

Alp has worked on almost every continent. He has been based in Europe, and lately works from Dubai. He is a true believer that efficiency, quality, and respect – respect for the environment, respect for energy, and the people that make it possible, should be at the center of any sustainable business endeavor that aims for success. 

He is a strong supporter that tolerance and empathy for each human being through diversity and inclusion, along with seeking and understanding the unique powers of the individual regardless of gender would improve the quality of business, and the quality of life.
