Cliff Poulton

With over 20 years of leadership experience in education, attractions, and business development across the UAE and international markets, I bring a unique blend of operational expertise, program innovation, and stakeholder engagement to the Activity Manager role. My career has been defined by successfully designing and delivering impactful experiences—whether managing large-scale operations at Aventura Parks, where I led a team of 57 and increased educational bookings by 35% YoY, or developing career pathway programs through Poulton Consultancy that connected schools with industry partners.

I thrive in environments that demand creativity, organisation, and a passion for engaging diverse audiences. Throughout my roles at Dubai Parks and Resorts, Atlantis The Palm, and IMG Worlds of Adventure, I launched and scaled educational and activity-based programs, integrating fun with learning and ensuring memorable experiences for participants. My teaching background as a Director of Assessments at GEMS Education further strengthened my ability to align activities with educational objectives and foster inclusive participation.

I am highly motivated to bring my expertise in program development, team leadership, and customer-focused delivery to create enriching activity experiences that exceed expectations. My proven record of driving engagement, building partnerships, and delivering operational excellence makes me confident in my ability to contribute significantly to your team.
