The Chedi, Andermatt, Swizterland

It was a breath of fresh air to leave the intoxicating heat of Zurich and head into the Swiss Alps, literally and figuratively. YES, I absolutely loved Zurich, but 95 degrees in a convertible while driving through urban congestion doesn’t exactly exude elation. Switzerland’s infrastructure has to be some of the best in the world, and the […]

Westin Grand Hotel, Frankfurt, Germany

The Chatwal, New York City, NY USA

An awesome achievement… three years after we started Attract China, the largest hospitality sales and marketing association in the world awarded me for being one of the top minds in the industry. While my name was on it, the honor wasn’t just for me – it was for our whole team and their dedicated, relentless […]
