Langham Hospitality Group (LHG) has welcomed back Sean Seah in the role of Senior Vice President – Strategy, Technology and Innovation.

Based at the company’s global headquarters in Hong Kong, Mr Seah will report directly to LHG’s Chief Executive Officer and will also be part of its Executive Committee.

Mr. Seah previously worked for LHG in 2009 in the position of Vice President – E-business, Loyalty, and Partner Marketing.

This background – together with the extensive experience he gained from senior leadership roles with Microsoft, HSBC, Air New Zealand and Travelocity – has equipped him with the precise expertise needed to further the company’s growth and optimisation goals.

“We are excited to welcome Sean Seah back to Langham Hospitality Group as our Senior Vice President for Strategy, Technology and Innovation.” LHG Chief Executive Officer Bob van den Oord said.

“His return marks a pivotal moment for the company as it prioritises strategic growth, which will in large part be driven by cutting edge digital solutions, data driven processes and operational efficiencies.”

Central to Mr. Seah’s role will be the need to identify emerging market trends and to craft innovative approaches to capitalise on those trends.

He will also steer the development and implementation of new technologies to enhance guest experiences and streamline business activities across the group’s extensive portfolio of hotels and resorts.
