Pan Pacific Hotels Group (PPHG) has unveiled major executive leadership team shuffle, in what the Singapore-headquarted group says is “a deliberate focus on building leadership depth, succession strength and executional capability across the group’s core priority areas”.
As part of this leadership strengthening, PPHG has appointed Craig Bond as COO, Celine Du as chief commercial and marketing officer and Kate Loh to head up development.
Bond will oversee global operations across the group's Pan Pacific, Parkroyal Collection and Parkroyal brands, while Du leads commercial strategy and customer engagement. Meanwhile, Loh returns after her earlier stint as director of development until 2022.
They join Andreas Sungaimin, SVP of people and culture; Valerie Foo, SVP of finance and Wee Wei Ling, executive director of sustainability partnerships, lifestyle and asset, to make up the senior management team, led by CEO Choe Peng Sum.
“These appointments reflect the depth and maturity of the leadership bench we have been deliberately building across the Group…to advance our commitment to innovation, leveraging technology to improve operational efficiency, enable more personalised guest experiences and create a more connected, empowering environment for employees,” said Choe.
The new team is also tasked to lead PPHG’s priority growth areas including luxury hospitality, serviced apartments and the MICE segment, while continuing to expand in key gateway cities globally.
