Manage treasury operations, seasonal cash-flow forecasting (peak tourism impacts), and currency hedging (THB/USD/EUR for international buyers)
Guide corporate finance milestones: IPO preparation for hospitality arm, REIT feasibility for villa portfolios, or strategic M&A with regional luxury developers
Establish robust financial controls, risk frameworks (e.g., construction delays, tourism volatility), and ESG compliance for sustainable luxury developments
Collaborate with legal on land acquisition due diligence, off-plan sales contracts, and hospitality JV agreements
Elevate the in-house finance team through mentoring and process automation

Personality & Cultural Fit

Polished executive demeanor to engage ultra-luxury stakeholders and international partners
Visionary strategist balancing bold expansion (e.g., Bali pipeline) with prudent risk management in volatile tourism sectors
Adaptable and hands-on for fast-paced island operations, yet adept at empowering teams
Unwavering ethics and a stellar reputation in real estate circles
