DUSIT International has appointed Lim Boon Kwee as COO, effective since February 1, and will be based in the company’s headquarters in Bangkok.
In his new role, he will oversee operations of Dusit’s global portfolio of hotels and resorts across four continents and reports directly to CEO Suphajee Suthumpun.
As well, he is responsible for the financial and operational responsibilities of Dusit’s hotel business unit, both at the corporate and property levels, overseeing functions in sales and marketing, rooms, F&B, engineering and technical services, as well as supporting business development to expand the company’s global footprint.
