A gem stone of our Westin family

We The Westin Mumbai Garden City are proud to share that our Materials Manager Mr. Joseph Pereira has received the award of Purchase Manager of the Year from Hotelier India.


Joseph Pereira, Materials Manager



Joseph is a part of the pre-opening team and joined The Westin Mumbai Garden City as Food and Beverage Controller on 10th February 2009. Due to his dedication and commitment, he was promoted to Materials Manager in April 2012. The new position granted Joseph the additional responsibility of overlooking the food and beverages controls department. To enable smooth operations, Joseph ensures that each purchase request is executed at priority without any delays and at the best price. Due to Joseph’s proactive attitude and tracking at regular intervals, he was able to intervene and prevent repeat order’s being processed.

Joseph has ensured that each team member is trained and cross-trained within the department after 6-8 months to ensure that there is knowledge enhancement and a back up is created for each process. There is also a well defined growth plan that is discussed and laid down for each associate within his team that is in line with Starwood programs. There has been zero attrition in his department since the last two years, which once again highlights Joseph’s multi-faceted leadership skills and the ability to obtain loyalty from his team.

A true asset within the team and we are proud to have such gem stones amongst us.
