Ascott ramps up upskilling to support global expansion

Ascott plans to open over 300 new properties by 2028.

Ascott is ramping up talent development to support the opening of more than 300 new properties by 2028.

This expansion is expected to create more than 12,000 new jobs, including over 1,500 property leadership roles.

The company will launch Ascott Accelerate, a structured talent management programme that accelerates high-potential associates into hospitality leadership positions.

This initiative is part of the Ascott Global Academy for Excellence (AGAX), a comprehensive training platform launched in 2024.

“As our business continues to grow and diversify, we remain deeply committed to developing our people, ensuring they have the skills and support to grow with us. Looking ahead, talent development will remain central to our strategy as we expand globally, with over 300 new properties set to become operational by 2028,” Lee Ngor Houai, Ascott’s COO for Europe, Middle East, Africa (EMEA), South Asia, and China, said.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
