JW Marriott Mussoorie Walnut Grove Resort & Spa Appoints Manoj Kumar as Director of Finance

JW Marriott Mussoorie Walnut Grove Resort & Spa has announced the appointment of Manoj Kumar as Director of Finance. A Chartered Accountant with over 12 years of experience in financial management and operations across the luxury hospitality sector, Kumar brings to this role a rigorous command of financial governance, compliance, and strategic planning that will further strengthen the resort's financial foundation, stated a press release.

Kumar's association with JW Marriott Mussoorie is not new. He served as part of the hotel's finance leadership between September 2018 and December 2021, a tenure during which he oversaw critical financial operations and contributed to the property's compliance and reporting frameworks. He also brings experience from The Westin Himalayas Resort & Spa and most recently from Jaipur Marriott Hotel, where he served as Financial Controller from June 2023. 

His earlier career includes the role of Financial Controller at Ibis Pune Viman Nagar, Finance Manager at Niranta Airport Transit Hotel & Lounge, and progressive finance positions at Crowne Plaza New Delhi Rohini, where he moved from General Ledger Executive to Assistant Manager — Finance. This wide-ranging exposure across full-service hotels, airport properties, and resort environments has given Mr. Kumar a versatile perspective on hospitality finance operations. 

Kumar holds a Chartered Accountant qualification from ICAI (November 2011), an IFRS certification from ICAI (December 2012), and a B.Com from the University of Delhi. He is proficient across hospitality-specific platforms including PeopleSoft, Sun Systems, Opera, FMC, and Tally. 

In his new role at JW Marriott Mussoorie, Kumar will lead the Finance department with responsibility spanning financial reporting, budgeting, audit coordination, regulatory compliance, and capital expenditure planning — working in close partnership with the General Manager and department heads to support the resort's continued growth. 

“Returning to JW Marriott Mussoorie feels like coming full circle,” says Kumar. “This is a property I deeply understand, and I look forward to contributing to its next chapter with the rigour, transparency, and strategic focus that strong financial leadership demands.”
