Renaissance Goa Hotel Appoints Ashish Pandey as Director of Finance

Renaissance Goa Hotel, part of Marriott Bonvoy, has appointed Ashish Pandey as Director of Finance. In this role, he will lead the hotel’s finance function, overseeing financial planning, reporting, compliance, and business performance.

Ashish Pandey brings over 13 years of experience in hospitality finance, with expertise in financial planning and analysis, governance, and operational support. He joins Renaissance Goa from Fairfield by Marriott Goa Benaulim, where he served as Assistant Director of Finance and managed financial reporting, budgeting, forecasting, and internal controls.

Ashish’s career includes experience across Marriott brands such as JW Marriott Chandigarh, Renaissance Lucknow, and Courtyard by Marriott Gurugram Downtown, where he progressed through various finance leadership roles. Earlier, he was associated with ibis Gurgaon and Country Inn & Suites by Carlson, Gurugram, building a foundation in core finance operations.

In his current role, Ashish will work closely with operational teams to strengthen financial discipline and support strategic decision-making at the property.

Commenting on his appointment, Ashish said, “Finance in a hotel has to move at the same pace as the guest experience. I’ve spent years learning how budgets, forecasts, and daily operations connect, and I want that understanding to shape how we run this property. Numbers should give the team confidence, not just a record of what already happened.”
