PASSION FOR THE HOSPITALITY INDUSTRY I have been always passionate for the hospitality industry because of its diversity, beauty, human touch and all sorts of excitement. I’m particularly interested in hotel development and investment. Therefore I took relevant courses at school and completed different internships in various sectors of hospitality industry. With the passion for the industry and Accor group, I officially joined the development department of Accor Asia Pacific in Singapore as Business Analyst in April 2011. This is exactly where I started my very first internship in 2008. After several years of continuous learning, I finally made my way back to Accor in 2011 with more knowledge, experiences and profound passion! 3

CAREER DEBUT Since joining Accor in April 2011, I have been part of the most exciting projects and witnessed the fast growth of Accor hotel network in Asia Pacific. My position is responsible for providing support in preparing 5 years development and business plans, managing current and new investment across Asia-Pacific and reviewing potential acquisition opportunities. I also support Southeast Asia development team in preparing feasibility studies for new projects. In my role, I manage to deliver work with accuracy & desired quality despite time constrains and to prioritize projects by balancing the importance and urgency. 5

CAREER DEBUT - Examples Thanks to my financial skills, I improved Accor’s financial model for evaluating hotel development and/or investment opportunities so that the whole region can refer to this template when they need to consider investments. In order to progress together with the market demand, I also helped design the feasibility analysis model for “combo ” hotel projects. As cost overrun is a big issue in India, I set up a project cost tracking system together with finance and technical & construction team. It has greatly strengthened Accor’s ability to monitor and optimize its investments in India. 6

CAREER DEBUT - Examples I participated in setting up the Joint Venture Barque Hotels Private Limited (“Barque”), which is now held 60% by SAMHI and 40% by Accor. In this deal, I mainly worked on the financial analysis & valuation, due diligence and documents drafting. Currently, Barque is developing a portfolio of 17 low-budget economy hotels (4 already operational) with planned room inventory of around 2000 across various cities in India operated by Accor under its global “Formule 1” brand. By working on various projects, I developed analytical skills, fast-learning ability and time & stress management skills. Those skills and abilities allow me to work efficiently and effectively in various situations with multinational teams. 7

FUTURE OBJECTIVES I’m working hard to become a good hotel developer and help grow Accor’s network across the Asia Pacific region. In the future, I hope to be able to handle hotel investment and development projects independently. I’m eager to continue being part of Accor’s success! 8
