Club Med appoints leaders for two new business units

Saturday, 19 Apr, 2011 0

Club Med has appointed Heidi Kunkel as CEO East & South Asia & Pacific, based in Singapore.

Kunkel joined Club Med in 2003, and was most recently president of Japan and Korea and previously held the position of general manager Pacific.

“Club Med’s popularity has continued to grow in the Asia Pacific region since our move to premium and upscale products,” she said.

A newly-named East & South Asia & Pacific business unit located in Singapore will manage sales in the Asia Pacific markets of Japan, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, South Korea, Malaysia, Thailand, India and Indonesia.

It will also be responsible for operations in eight resorts including Kabira Beach, Sahoro, Kani, Phuket, Cherating Beach, Bali, Bintan Island and Lindeman Island.

Olivier Horps has been appointed CEO of the new Greater China Business Unit, based in Shanghai.

Horps joined Club Med in 2007. He was appointed sales and marketing director, Asia, and managing director, Asia-Pacific.

The Greater China Business Unit is being created to spearhead Club Med’s projects in China.

Club Med opened its first resort in China – the Yabuli Resort – in 2010 and is actively working on new projects in the country. It plans to operate five resorts by 2015 with 200,000 clients, thus making China Club Med’s second largest market.
