Beverly Wilshire, Beverly Hills, A Four Seasons Hotel is delighted to announce the appointment of Mary Ann Gamboa as the new Commercial Director on this special day, September 21, which marks her sixth anniversary year with Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts.

With over 30 years of industry experience across major hospitality brands from Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts to IHG Hotels and Resorts, Trump Hotels, Marriott International, Radisson Hotels, and InterContinental, Mary Ann is a tenured leader whose ability to deliver results in highly competitive markets has earned her meaningful awards and recognition, including being named one of the 100 Most Influential Filipina Women in the World by the Filipina Women’s Network.

Mary Ann began her professional journey in Manila, Philippines, before immigrating to Canada in 1998. From the moment she arrived in Toronto, she set to cultivate partnerships that would drive revenue, awareness and brand loyalty. Her accomplishments include collaborating with the Toronto International Film Festival, Golden Globes, Vanity Fair, British Academy of Film and Television Arts, Canadian Foundation for AIDS Research, and Destination Toronto.

Mary Ann now brings her inherent passion for hospitality from the Philippines, along with her collaborative spirit formed while at the Four Seasons Hotel Toronto, to the heart of Beverly Hills. Since her arrival at Beverly Wilshire, she has focused on empowering the team, strengthening community relations, and advancing the hotel's strategic priorities as a valued member of the Executive Leadership Team. She was recently appointed to the Board of Directors for the Beverly Hills Chamber of Commerce and is helping lead preparations for several mega-events and celebrations coming to Los Angeles, including Beverly Wilshire's centennial year in 2028.

Always a champion of workplace diversity, Mary Ann leads with authenticity and an inclusive mindset that sparks innovation and elevates performance. “Take the time to get to know your team personally so you can understand how to lead them professionally,” she says. “That is the key ingredient to building trust and success.” Today, she is regarded as a trusted mentor to emerging professionals and colleagues, striving to break barriers just as she has throughout her career.

Outside work, Mary Ann enjoys exploring her new neighborhood, visiting iconic landmarks, and looking forward to becoming an active member of Beverly Hills organizations and the Filipino community in Los Angeles.
