The newly created role will oversee the development and execution of the group’s commercial strategy while also taking executive responsibility for all aspects of MOHG’s customer experience.
Prior to joining Mandarin Oriental, Joanna spent 12 years at Google in general management and sales leadership roles, most recently as managing director, Global Partner Business.
