Nyoman Sugiarta

Nyoman is Chairman of IHKA Bali Committee for period 2006 - 2009. He currently works in Sheraton Laguna as an Executive Housekeeper. He started his career really from the bottom and surely creeping up to reach his current position. We might don't believe that he used to be a hawkers who sould work all day under the sun on Kuta beach or in cold weather all night at Legian Street to sell whatever he could to the tourist. Chased away by the security was his daily experience. By luck he was found by bapak Hendrik Da Costa, the Executive Housekeeper of Pertamina Cottage who then brought him to work at Puri Ratih Hotel.

He started his career in hospitality industry from this hotel. Becaused of his eagerness to learn hotel operation and to improve his experience he decised to move to Bali Dynasty as opening team in 1990. But unfortunately he has to be dismissed becaused of the middle east crisis has caused very bad impact to hospitality industry in Bali. No visitor at all for couple of months especially for the new open hotel.

Again he had to experience difficult life until Nusa Indah Convention Center hired him as a Floor Supervisor. His good life was started from this hotel. His background dealt with difficult life has driven him to be a very enthusiastic person, hard work, and always did the best that he could.

His decision to leave Nusa Indah to move to Sheraton Laguna in 19996 to take the position of Assistant Executive Housekeeper was a big step in his life. We can say that as in this worldy chain hotel he became a star and was promoted to be an Executive Housekeeper in the year of 2000.

Eventhough he has experienced lots of difficulty in his life his sense of humor is not gone. If you ask him what kind sport he likes most, he will answer with big lough, " I love to watch foot ball but I still prefer to see a group of beautiful girls doing body language exercise in the sport centre". Or if you ask him his interesting experience he will tell you how nervous he was when first time travelling by air plane to Sheraton Yogyakarta. He was very nerveous and had to keep praying all the way even when the plane was already landed. Untill he jamp to the taxi then he could settle himself.

Now he is enjoying his good life. Listening all kind of music, shopping to mall, clubbing and those kind of life style. This is his way to make himself and his family happy because is motto is: to enjoy our life in happines we shold keep our life balance like "+" and we have to position ourself as a dot in the centre of the "+".

Now he is our chairman. He was ellected by aclamation to lead the organization considering his lasting dedication to IHKA, and his great echievement when chairing the committee of Rakerda and Seminar IHKA Bali 2004 in Bali Hilton Nusa Dua.
