Oakwood Asia Pacific has appointed Craig Bond as Vice President of Operations.

In this capacity, Craig will have responsibility for a portfolio of 11 Oakwood-branded serviced apartments currently operating in the region, as well as several in various stages of development.

Craig has more than 25 years of tourism and hospitality management experience. His most recent appointment was Area General Manager – Oceania for Pan Pacific Hotels Group where he was responsible for the financial performance and operations structure of the group's hotels in Oceania.

Prior to that he spent more than five years with Mirvac Hotels & Resorts where he was the Regional General Manager for 11 properties.

Craig will report to Dean Schreiber, Oakwood Asia Pacific’s Managing Director and will be based out of the head office in Singapore.

"Craig's extensive experience in all aspects of operations, and in business development, new openings, rebranding and renovations will be invaluable as Oakwood continues on its aggressive expansion plans," Dean said. "We look forward to his strengthening operational effectiveness and in-region expertise as part of our sustainable growth journey. His deep experience in Australia will be particularly relevant as this is one of the key markets in our strategic development plan."

Bond's role is one of two regional operations roles, with Martin Fluck leading operations for North Asia, based out of Tokyo.
