RANO SHI
NOURA SULAM
Executive, F&B Operations Hailing from Tianjin, Rano has completed his education and resided in Singapore for 15 years. At the tender age of 16 and earning extra pocket money as a part-time banquet server, he found his calling in F&B.
Senior Executive, F&B Sales Before entering the world of sales, Noura flew the skies on Singapore Airlines. It was there that she learned the finer skills of customer service, and today client satisfaction is paramount in her line of work.
“Back then as a part-timer, serving weddings was the happiest thing for me. I felt that with my contribution, the weddings were successful and that could mean the marriage would be successful too. I felt really good about that and now I try to invoke that feeling with every member,” he says.
Now with several years of experience in organising weddings and corporate events within hotels and clubs, Noura is passionate about making every event extra special. “Achieving successful and memorable events for my clients is what I love about my line of work,” she explains.
Since then he has built his portfolio and worked at various Clubs and fine-dining establishments over the past four years. On a more personal note, Rano and his fiancée are planning a wedding of their own next year. Congratulations!
Outside of the office, Noura loves gardening – seeing her plants grow healthy makes her day.

Welcoming the Year of the Monkey We had a few surprise visits from a furry friend during the Chinese New Year season! And seeing as this is the Year of the Monkey, this must be a sign of blessings for the Club (we hope!) – all the more reason to protect the flora and fauna around us. However, keep in mind not to provoke or feed the monkey if you see it – monkeys’ tummies are not accustomed to human food!

Co-organised with Singapore Sailing Federation, the event saw more than 150 participants and spectators who witnessed the iconic windsurfing speed race held at the Lower Seletar Reservoir.
