InterContinental Hotels Group Asia Pacific has announced the appointment of Gary Rosen as senior vice president, sales and marketing, and Ken Wong as regional director of sales and marketing for Greater China.
Rosen joins IHG from McDonald's Corporation, where he most recently held the position of vice president, chief marketing and corporate affairs officer for McDonald's China. With over 20 years of sales and marketing experience in the fast moving consumer goods sector, Rosen was instrumental in turning around McDonald's business, driving brand leadership and delivering record sales and operating income. Prior to his role in China, Rosen was senior director of global marketing for McDonald's Corporation. In previous roles with companies such as Simon Marketing Inc. and Walt Disney, he was responsible for driving brand performance through innovative marketing plans and alliance relationships.
Wong has over 20 years of experience in the hospitality including 15 years in sales and marketing and seven years in China. Prior to joining IHG, he was with Marriott International as director of marketing for the company's JW Marriott and Ritz-Carlton hotels in Beijing. Wong has also held previous appointments with Shangri-La and Starwood, and has extensive sales and marketing training and hotel pre-opening experience. Wong will employ the group's sales and marketing resources to drive revenue and increase hotel performance for IHG.
