Janine Watton joins Four Points by Sheraton Bangkok, Sukhumvit 15 as DOSM

Ms. Janine Watton has been appointed as Director of Sales and Marketing at the Four Points by Sheraton Bangkok, Sukhumvit 15, Starwood’s first Four Points by Sheraton property in Thailand.

Watton will be responsible for maximizing overall revenue and fostering relationships with the hotel’s business, group and meetings clientele. The Four Points by Sheraton is set to open in October 2010.

Watton most recently served as director of sales and marketing at The Westin, Kuala Lumpur, where she successfully converted hotel and brand objectives into specific goals and action plans, as well as analyzed and communicated business and financial data. Additionally, she led, coached and developed the sales and marketing teams, all while remaining adaptive and agile to lead the hotel through changing market conditions.

Watton’s history working within the Starwood sales and marketing organization, together with her broad range of managerial experience, have provided her with an in-depth knowledge of the M.I.C.E. and F.I.T. markets in both Australia and Asia. Over her career, Watton has been successful in producing anywhere from A$2 million to more than A$4.5 million for the respective hotels where she has worked.

The Australian native launched her career in sales and marketing in 1994 as a marketing coordinator at the Del Rio Resort and quickly moved up through the ranks. Watton first successfully managed the pre-opening duties of a sales executive when she joined the Sebel Parramata in July of 2000.

“Janine is a great addition to our motivated team at Four Points by Sheraton Bangkok, Sukhumvit 15,” said General Manager Janet McNab. “With more than 17 years experience in the hospitality business, 12 of them in sales and marketing roles, Janine possesses the excellent communication and interpersonal skills, as well as the motivation and knowledge, to play a key role as we establish the Four Points by Sheraton brand in Thailand.”

Slated to open in October 2010, Four Points by Sheraton Bangkok is located along Sukhumvit Road, a central destination in Bangkok renowned for its great shopping and nightlife. The hotel offers 268 guest rooms and suites ranging from 32 to 74 square meters with spacious garden terraces.
