About

Based in Hong Kong, I lead a team of talented industry professionals across the Globe, to excel in all that they do, delivering long term growth and value for our exceptional brands and partners. We have a unique DNA that threads through each of our brands. From our legacy brand, The Langham, from which we take our name, to our full portfolio which includes the Cordis, Eaton and Ying’nFlo Brands, we pay tribute to our past yet innovate into the future of hospitality. I love our Langham family, and the industry we’re in, creating unique and memorable experiences each and every day, and am passionate about mentoring and developing the next generation of global leaders. I try to inspire our talented teams, pushing the boundaries of what our brands can achieve to build great memories and a lasting legacy. By enriching our colleagues and guests’ lives with immersive storytelling, creative collaboration, art and design, as well as commitment to sustainability, we can deliver financially powerful best-in-class performances amid a culture of operational excellence.
