People are the core element in hospitality services, and we know that in order to achieve true success, we need to develop their talent to help us strive for excellence,” said Octavio Gamarra, Senior Vice President, Dusit International.
He added “The appointment of our first Vice President Talent Management stems from our commitment to seek and develop quality people to work in Dusit International’s properties worldwide. Justin has exceptional experience in human resources development from working in a huge range of international markets including Singapore, Malaysia and the Middle East. His expertise thus lies in the area of multicultural human resources management, which will greatly help us with our overseas expansion.”
