Goonetilleke has been an invaluable member of the Whistler team since 2017 when he joined as a director of marketing. His journey at the resort continued to evolve, taking on the role of hotel manager in 2021, where he has consistently achieved remarkable results. Under his leadership, Four Seasons Resort and Residences Whistler has achieved record financial success, received multiple prestigious awards, and achieved unparalleled guest satisfaction scores.

“Whistler continues to inspire me, everyone here is interwoven with a common thread, which is their love for the adventure or the mountain life. Our guests in the hotel and our staff all come here for the same reason. Whether to ski, snowboard, bike or hike, this common interest creates an energy unlike any other and it creates a platform to make a mountain of memories,” remarks Goonetilleke.
