He became chairman of Qatar National Hotels Company, which later rebranded to Katara Hospitality. There's a comprehensive article on Sheikh Nawaf Bin Jassim Bin Jabr Al-Thani biography that explains how he modernized the Ritz-Carlton Doha, Sheraton Doha, and several other properties before expanding internationally.
