The great thing about my job is… That I keep learning, as most days are punctuated by new events I have not seen before.

The challenge for industry is… Keeping up with fast changing technology and social media.

My greatest achievement is… Putting together a great team of genuine people who are not afraid to be themselves at work.

The biggest thing in MICE this year will be… A worry free experience thanks to our recent HACCP (Hazard Analysis & Critical Control Point) certification.

I try to relax by… Swimming with Enzo (my boxer dog) in the ocean.

I don’t understand why… Peace seems to be so difficult to attain in this world.

Currently the album playing on my iPod is… Mynta : Meetings in India. A mixture of Nordic ice and Indian spice.

My favourite venue is… Hotel Everest perched at 3800m, the highest placed hotel in the world.

I am scared to death of… Propeller planes.

I can’t live without… My daily espresso fix.

Blackberry or iPhone… iPhone.

I really wish I had… The chance to be fluent in Balinese language, so I can better understand this amazing and magical part of the world.

If I could invite four people to a dinner party, they’d be… My parents, brother and sister. I’ve been away from them for way too long.
