Corporate Bits | Sheraton appoints new managing director for macau

Starwood Hotels & Resorts announced yesterday that they have appointed Ms Janet McNab as the new Managing Director of the Cotai Central branches of both the Sheraton Macao Hotel and the St. Regis Macao.
Australian-born but of Italian descent, Ms McNab began her career with Starwood Hotels & Resorts 25 years ago in Brisbane. She has now spent more than 13 years in Asia, working at properties throughout Thailand, China, and Indonesia.
“Throughout her career with Starwood Hotels & Resorts, Janet has led the openings of key hotels and is highly regarded for having implemented a number of very successful Sales and Marketing strategies,” said Josef Dolp, a vice-president of the group. “Her experience in Asia, coupled with her exceptional leadership skills, makes her perfectly suited to take on the role of managing director.”
Ms McNab said that she was excited to confront the new challenge and that she was “happy to be returning to the Greater China region, where I [she] launched my international career.” She added that she “love[s] the idea of change and feel[s] fortunate that I can do what I love to do most.”
Prior to her current position, Ms McNab was fulfilling dual roles as both the Area General Manager for Starwood Hotels & Resorts in South Thailand, and the General Manager of the Westin Siray Bay Resort & Spa from 2013 to 2015. She initially moved to Nanjing in China after completing an MBA in Australia and after having served as Director of Sales & Marketing at the Sheraton Brisbane Hotel & Towers.
Janet McNab will now report directly to Mr Josef Dolp, who has recently been promoted to the position of vice-president of operations for Hong Kong, Taiwan, Macau and Korea.
