Profile

British born Christine began her career at London’s Carlton Tower Hotel. It set the pattern for what was to evolve into a highly successful professional journey involving some of the world’s leading brands including Four Seasons, Hyatt International, Mandarin Oriental and Westin.

The rapid expansion of the global hospitality industry does not faze Christine. Ever the pioneer, she has lived and worked in the Far East, specifically Singapore and Hong Kong, for almost 20 years. She epitomises the conflation of East and West, and possesses a sound understanding of local demand patterns and inter-cultural dynamics. With the explosion and emergence of Pacific Rim and Eastern European tourism, respectively, Christine is ideally placed to advise and consult on the strategic and implementation issues critical to maximising profits and returns.

Today, this seasoned, results driven hotelier extends her expertise to recognised industry associates and independent investments in order to maximise potential opportunities.

Christine has spearheaded sales and marketing programmes that have increased revenues and successfully repositioned hotel and leisure properties in international markets. She has launched new hospitality assets, and turned around under-performing businesses. For this, and her undiluted passion for an industry she believes is the very best in the world, Christine enjoys the admiration and respect of her colleagues, clients and peers.

Christine Hodder is a member of a number of the industry’s recognised professional hospitality and culinary associations.
