We chat with the general manager of The Peninsula Manila.

The great thing about my job is…

The people I work with and the company I work for.

The challenge for industry is…

Keeping up with technology and not losing that personal touch.

My greatest achievement is…

Being in a position that I love. I don’t consider my job as work, it’s a lifestyle.

The biggest thing in MICE this year will be…

To ensure minimum spend is minimized.

I try to relax by…

The pool.

I don’t understand why…

Guests feel the need to belittle staff and think that is acceptable. No excuse for bad behaviour.

My favourite venue is…

The beds at The Peninsula Manila.

I’ve always wanted to travel to…

Exotic places.

I am scared to death of…

Failure.

I can’t live without…

My nephews and nieces and Larry my dog.

I really wish I had…

A private jet at my beck and call.

If I could invite four people to a dinner party, they’d be…

My family.

For anyone starting out in the industry one piece of advice I’d give would be…

Behave for the job you want not for the job you have.
