Pan Pacific Hotels Group (PPHG) has unveiled its new executive leadership team as it positions the organisation for its next phase of growth.
New appointments include Craig Bond as chief operating officer, Celine Du as chief commercial and marketing officer, and Kate Loh as head of Development.
They join the senior management team which comprise Andreas Sungaimin, senior vice president of people and culture, Valerie Foo, senior vice president of finance, and Wee Wei Ling, executive director of sustainability partnerships, lifestyle and asset.
The team, led by CEO Choe Peng Sum, was chosen for their complementary strengths across operations, commercial strategy, finance, development, brand-building and talent management to support the group as it expands its global footprint and evolving brand portfolio.
In his new role, Bond oversees global operations across the group’s Pan Pacific, Parkroyal Collection and Parkroyal brands to ensure consistency in the delivery of high-quality guest experiences across markets.
Du, who brings three decades of experience working with luxury hotel brands, will oversee PPHG’s commercial strategy and performance across its portfolio. She will be responsible for driving revenue growth, strengthening brand equity, channel management, loyalty, and global partnerships.
As a former director of development until 2022, Loh is a familiar face with extensive experience across development planning, feasibility and project management.
Foo, who is part of the finance team, will be involved in the management of integrated global payment systems with a strong focus on cybersecurity and risk mitigation.
To support the group’s growth, Sungaimin as head of people and culture, will play a central role in shaping a high-performance, inclusive culture as the group attracts and integrates a new generation of hospitality talent.
He will focus on building a culture that resonates with the future workforce of millennial and Gen Z workers, focusing on purpose, well-being, career mobility and continuous learning.
Shaping the group’s sustainability and corporate social responsibility strategy is Wee, who will integrate social inclusion, environmental responsibility and cultural expression into the group’s operations.
This strengthened team will lead the group in its priority growth areas of luxury hospitality, serviced apartments and MICE, while it continues its global expansion.
