Julian is a gifted hotelier with a rare combination of patience, agility, creativity and operational excellence. I worked with Julian first in his operational roles across both Canada and Hong Kong where I could always count on his support for the brand needs. And then when he joined our head office to work on a key strategic project for the organization, our Family Experience. Julian led a variety of workshops to engage key stakeholders flawlessly. He managed his way through a complex project with multiple touch points.

We met Julian during our first interaction with the Hong Kong hospitality industriy. Thanks to his innovative attitude and foresight, his hotel expertise we were able to execute our first pilot project as a startup. Julian has helped us tremendously in strengthening our company's value proposition with a hotel operator and working out the product/solution fit. He has become a relevant pillar in our network to scale our company in the global hotel industry. His strategic thinking combined with his strong experience in hotel operations is of great value to us as a startup.
