With over 20 years of global experience in business development, digital, sales and operations, Werner, according to Rosewood Hotel Group, focuses on developing teams to be successful whilst delivering optimum solutions to exceed business goals. Werner brings a track record of strengthening business and entering new markets to this new role at Rosewood, having previously held senior leadership positions at Google, Spruce Media, adBrite and JP Morgan.

“This is a very exciting time for Rosewood as we reorganise our organisation and continue to grow our leadership team in order to best support our goals and prioritise our global expansion. We are thrilled to welcome Lucy to the Rosewood team in her newly created role, and trust that her experience will be immensely helpful as she leads the commercial division of our brands," said Sonia Cheng, chief executive officer of Rosewood Hotel Group.
