Thailand Computer Systems Manager Receives International Recognition from Marriott International

Khun Apisak Phetchsawad, Computer Systems Manager for JW Marriott Phuket Resort and Spa was recently awarded "Systems Manager of the Year, 2001, Asia/Pacific/Australia" by Martin Bookallil, Marriott International's Regional Director of Information Technology.

When Apisak first joined the resort in the pre-opening phase in July 2001, he worked from a series of floor plans showing all the points for computers, telephones, micros stations for restaurants, shops, offices, plus guest rooms, suites and villas. He spent a great deal of time liaising with the construction team and engineers, as well as the suppliers, to turn this into the physical reality it is today - many kilometers of cables later.

"We are very proud of K. Apisak and congratulate him on winning this prestigious award for his dedication and commitment," said Jerry Phelps, General Manager.
