Prior to joining Fairmont in 2011, Fox held senior positions at InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG) over a period of 10 years, including chief operating office for Europe, and senior vice president overseeing global brand marketing for the InterContinental brand.

She joined IHG from Starwood Hotels & Resorts, where she was global brand manager for Sheraton after spending over 10 years in various operational roles with ITT Sheraton.

Fox said: “I look forward to working with chairman Kwek and the board, together with my new Millennium & Copthorne Hotels colleagues around the world. The group’s distinctive portfolio of iconic properties gives it a strong edge in tackling the challenges in today’s global hospitality market. I see this as a significant opportunity at a time of great change in our industry.”
