Author Profile

Former Vice President Information Technology APAC (Revenue and Global Technology Division)

Marriott International, China

My career spans 30+ years in hospitality technology, with deep specialization in the Asia-Pacific region based in Hong Kong. During my 26-year tenure with Marriott International, I led technology operations across APAC, culminating in leading the largest hospitality technology merger in history when Marriott acquired Starwood Hotels & Resorts. This experience provided invaluable insights into large-scale technology transformation challenges, managing the integration of property management systems, loyalty platforms, and guest-facing technologies across diverse markets from Tokyo to Southeast Asia. My Swiss Hotel Management Diploma complements technical expertise with practical operational knowledge. As the 2024 recipient of the CHTA Innovation and Leadership Award, I combine traditional hospitality expertise with cutting-edge AI research capabilities. This hybrid approach enables me to compete effectively with large consulting firms while delivering practical solutions that address unique hospitality challenges in an increasingly digital marketplace.
