I joined HSH as a fresh graduate in 2014 and my career trajectory accelerated incredibly quickly. In just ten years, I have been promoted five times within the Corporate Responsibility and Sustainability (CRS) function. Today, I am proud to say that I lead the CRS team. I am honoured to represent the company as a speaker at prestigious industry events as well as present CRS initiatives at Board meetings. 

I enjoy challenging our colleagues to think differently, and my team is afforded the opportunity to initiate group-wide projects that really make a difference. The CRS team that I lead is focused on always doing the right thing for our people, our Company and the planet. I have been instrumental in the development and implementation of the group’s sustainability strategy, Sustainable Luxury Vision 2030, as well as a focus on leading charitable initiatives and community support.

My fast-track career is a testament to perseverance, willingness to adapt, and taking a pragmatic yet forward-thinking approach. With passion, hard work, and a supportive environment like HSH, you can achieve your dreams and make a significant impact.

When I first joined the company in 2003 as an Assistant Manager in Business Development, I had no idea the journey would be so exhilarating. Over the years, I have had the privilege of working on and leading numerous projects, including finding and developing The Peninsula London, The Peninsula Istanbul, The Peninsula Shanghai and The Peninsula Paris. From the bustling streets of Shanghai to the historic avenues of Paris, each project presented unique challenges and opportunities. One of my proudest achievements has been the development of The Peninsula London Residences, an exceptional piece of real estate in the heart of London. 

In 2020, I was promoted to General Manager of Business Development, whereby in 2024, I was elevated to Chief Property Development Officer and joined the Group Management Board. This new role allows me to oversee even more ambitious projects and the overall responsibility for the commercial properties of the group, including iconic assets, The Repulse Bay and The Peak Complex in Hong Kong, The Landmark in Vietnam and 21 avenue Kléber in Paris.

What I love most about my job is the incredible variety of projects and the superb locations I get to visit. But more than that, it's the people and work variety that has made the past two decades so rewarding. The most frequent question I receive is, "Where is the next Peninsula going to be?" While I can't reveal all our plans, I can say that the future holds exciting possibilities. 

The Peninsula has been like my family since I joined. I am grateful to have had such an exciting career with wonderful people. During my tenure with the group, I have been fortunate to live in several different countries. I joined The Peninsula New York in 2017 as a Food and Beverage Management Trainee, and I was eager to learn more and experience the world of luxury hospitality. My career took an interesting turn when I was selected to transfer to The Peninsula Shanghai as Assistant Bar Manager. This was a role that I will never forget, garnering skills working in a fast-paced operation in a dynamic country.

Having developed my skills in China, I returned to New York where I currently reside. I was promoted a further three times, initially re-joining as Rooftop Bar Manager, then Director of Bar, and currently, Director of Food and Beverage. I have held five positions in eight years and have been given limitless opportunities to grow and keep learning. Most recently I supported the renovation project for The Peninsula New York where we have recently launched Pen-Top, our well-loved rooftop bar with spectacular views over Fifth Avenue. My journey has been a whirlwind, hard work, but always fun and very fulfilling.
