His hospitality career spans more than 20 years with varied experience in all aspects of hotel management from food and beverage to room operations in destination resorts and full-service hotels across the Hilton portfolio.
Dadhich completed his hotel management certificate in India and worked at numerous luxury properties. He moved to the United States in 2001 to pursue his master’s degree in Global Hospitality and a Bachelor of Science in Hospitality from Johnson & Wales University in Providence, R.I.
