Hilton gets new old GM
The West Coast's largest hotel is losing its first woman general manager.
The 1,900-room Hilton San Francisco will see Karima Zaki leave after just nine months, returning to San Diego to open a $350 million Hilton down there.
Replacing her is John Mazzoni, who had been general manager before Zaki but left the position to head up Hilton's labor relations. When the company's union negotiations proved smoother than expected, Mazzoni was freed up to return to SF.
Mazzoni took over from Holger Gantz, who led the Hilton for 17 years before retiring in 2002.
I interviewed Karima for our executive profile feature. She said the toughest part of her job is "Balancing my career aspirations with the well being of my child. I certainly parked a lot longer in San Diego than I would have as a single person."
In San Diego, Zaki has extended family to help raise and support her child.
