Wearing a pin-striped pantsuit, sophisticated pearls and a blinding diamond necklace, you wouldn’t guess she had been a stay-at-home mom for 14 years. She definitely looks the part of successful businesswoman and hotelier — Ugandan-born Sayani is the owner and managing director of Vancouver-based Executive Hotels and Resorts.
“My husband, Noordin, a land developer, found a nice piece of land in Richmond and asked me if I wanted to become a hotelier,” Sayani remembers. “My kids were grown and it was my opportunity to get out into the real world. So he built the hotel and I became a hotelier.”
