Zubin Aibara is a management executive from the tourism industry, specializing in group travel. He started his career in India, moving to Switzerland in 2006. His latest assignment was with Kuoni-Tumlare as Regional Manager for incoming business to Switzerland, Germany and Austria, where he managed the operations, procurement, customer service and event-management setups, leading teams in Switzerland, Germany and Hungary.

He studied for PMP certification because, though he had been involved in numerous projects over the years (both event-related and otherwise), he wanted to develop a deeper understanding of the subject, especially when working with other project managers. Besides, PMs always seemed a step ahead with their specialized lingo and he wanted to make sure he understood them perfectly!

Zubin is currently looking for a new role in different industries and joined the Switzerland chapter to interact with like-minded people, engage in interesting discussions and learn from his peers.

In his free time, besides having to patiently answer questions from his overly-curious six-year-old son, Zubin is an avid reader and hopes to publish a book some day.
