In his new role, Politano leads a team of over 60 professionals and directs distribution efforts for upcoming projects and the brand’s international expansion. His promotion marks part of a broader leadership evolution that supports Atmosphere Core’s strategic ambitions.

Chief Commercial Officer Stéphane Laguette highlighted the importance of strong leadership during the company’s expansion, saying:

“As we expand our footprint and invest in long-term value creation, it’s essential to have the right leaders guiding the way. Michel will be well positioned to drive ongoing process improvements. While reinforcing the importance of business performance, and returns for owners. This promotion is a reflection of Michel’s impact, his strategic mindset, and our confidence in his ability to shape the commercial future of Atmosphere Core.”

Originally from France, Politano launched his career in Europe before moving to Dubai, where he built a strong reputation for his expertise in distribution and sales leadership. Over the years, he restructured and strengthened both local and international sales teams, significantly boosting their efficiency and growth. Moreover, throughout his career, he has united multicultural, multifunctional teams by rallying them around common goals.

With more than 20 years of experience, Politano brings deep expertise across all areas of commercial operations — from revenue generation and digital marketing to strategic problem-solving and business development. As a result, he has earned a reputation for building agile and effective strategies in dynamic markets.

Since joining Atmosphere Core in 2022, Politano has based himself in the Maldives, where he oversees revenue management and distribution for the group’s entire portfolio. He combines sharp commercial insight with emotional intelligence, which allows him to embody the company’s culture naturally.

Colleagues also praise his ability to create clarity amid complexity and to unite teams behind a shared vision.

Reflecting on his promotion, Politano said

Throughout my career, I have gravitated towards opportunities where we build commercial frameworks from the ground up, rather than managing established ‘plug and play’ setups. I’ve always believed in earning trust through what you do, not just what you say. Our commercial space is full of moving parts, but when you keep integrity and communication at the centre of it all, teams align, and results follow.”
