September 16, 2010 - Mr. Luedi's previous post was at The Fairmont Kea Lani on the island of Maui where he held the positions of General Manager since 2001 and Regional Vice President, Hawaii since 2005.

Luedi has more than 20 years of experience in the luxury hospitality industry across the United States. An avid waterman with a passion for outrigger canoe paddling, Mr. Luedi will feel right at home on the Island of Hawaii. In 2003, Mr. Luedi together with local Maui community leader Kimokeo Kapahulehua, envisioned traveling the entire Hawaiian archipelago in a traditional six-person Hawaiian outrigger canoe, beginning on the Island of Hawaii. This dream became a reality in July of 2008 when the paddlers completed their final leg which marked the completion of a six-year, 1,650 mile archipelago journey.

“The wonderful people of Maui and The Fairmont Kea Lani were instrumental in my apprenticeship in becoming a 'Kamaaina' (local) and I look forward to expanding my knowledge of the Hawaiian culture here on the Island of Hawaii and sharing it with our employees and guests alike.”
