Ms. Trishna brings a strong track record from Marriott International, where she most recently served as Country Director of Revenue Strategy for Vietnam, and previously led revenue management for major clusters across India, including Pune, Bengaluru, and Mumbai.

"Ascott's rapid expansion and brand diversity present an exciting opportunity," said Ms. Trishna. "I look forward to partnering with teams across the cluster to drive disciplined revenue strategies and maximise performance across all markets."

Commenting on the appointments, Mr. Kanit Sangmookda, Country General Manager, Thailand and Laos, Ascott, said, "These appointments come at a pivotal time for our business.
