Six Senses Resorts & Spas appoints new Managing Director Finance

Bangkok-based Six Senses Resorts & Spa has appointed Simon Allison as Managing Director of Finance. He comes to the Six Senses role from that of President Europe for Millennium Copthorne Hotels plc, where he was responsible for more than twenty hotels in the United Kingdom and Europe.

Simon previously held the position of Managing Director – Investment and Finance – at Molinaro Koger, a leading US-based hotel consultancy and brokerage firm; and Finance Director at Hospitality Europe BV, a major hotel owning company.

Earlier tenures included a ten-year Vice Presidency at JP Morgan where he specialized in the hotel and property sector, advising companies on acquisitions, flotations and debt-funding. Simon graduated from Oxford in 1987 where he earned First Class honors before joining JP Morgan.

Apart from the time spent on major professional pursuits, Simon also became the honoury chairman of a company based on the Residents Association, at a major residential property in the South Bank of the Thames, where he led the residents to vote to buy their freehold in a UK 2.7 pound acquisition. His other ongoing interests include travel, reading, food and soccer.

Chris Eddis, who has had the role of interim MD Finance over the past year, will continue with Six Senses as a Core member, allowing him to give more focus to his own business in Europe. Chris will continue to contribute to Six Senses on specific projects, mostly in Europe and in the Spa division.
