The Beginning
Choosing Purpose
Christian moved away from an established industrial-sales career in Germany and trained as a wellness practitioner, pursuing work that felt more connected to people and purpose.
Global Foundations
Learning at Sea
Working with Steiner Leisure aboard luxury cruise ships developed his understanding of service, resilience, multicultural teams and wellness operations at scale.
Professional Growth
Spa Management in Miami
Formal spa-management study in Miami supported his progression from hands-on wellness practice into leadership and commercial spa operations.
The UAE Chapter
Luxury Hospitality Leadership
Roles with Emaar, St. Regis and Starwood Middle East helped shape an approach where service quality, personalisation and the complete guest journey are inseparable.
Regional Scale
Building Spa Operations
As group chief executive at Dreamworks Spa, he helped expand the operator from a small portfolio into more than 20 hotel-spa locations before the 2020 transition.
The Vision Today
Creating Wellbeings
Through Spa Wellness Project Management, Rayya Wellness and Wellbeings Holistic Healing, Christian continues to build ethical, personalised and commercially sustainable wellness experiences.
