About OSCAR AUNG
MULTI-CONTINENTAL WORK EXPERIENCES
Embarking on my career at Sule Shangri-La, I honed my skills in hotel management, navigating the intricacies of a close to 500-room, 5-star establishment. In this property, I gained a solid foundation in hotel management systems, particularly those geared towards large volume occupancies.
Transitioning to the boutique brand of Belmond, my nearly eight-year journey spanned across Myanmar, Laos, and Cambodia, and visited a total of 14 properties worldwide. This journey allowed me to shift from high-speed efficiency management to a more genteel pace focused on personalized service. Following this, I immersed myself in two transformative years in Bhutan, focusing on wellness sanctuary experiences.
In April 2021, I took a pivotal role with ÀNI Group as Caribbean Regional Manager, leading alongside the CEO for the rebranding the company, and restructuring efforts for locations in Anguilla and the Dominican Republic. By mid-2023, I earned a promotion to Caribbean Regional Director, overseeing new resort projects in Anguilla and Turks & Caicos, and managing administration of ÀNI’s non-profit art academies in the region. Adapting to diverse operational needs, I navigated cultural differences, contributing to enhanced resorts' success.
Personal Background
Born in the vibrant city of Yangon, I was fortunate to have a mother who recognized my natural talent for connecting with people from all walks of life. Witnessing my affinity for building relationships across nationalities and age groups in my early years, she wisely encouraged me to pursue a career in either media or hospitality. Thanks to her insightful guidance, I've transformed my passion into a flourishing and rewarding career within an industry that brings people together from all over the world.
Educational Background
I was awarded a partial scholarship for my studies in Tourism and Hospitality Management at the Nanyang Institute of Management in Singapore—a pivotal moment in shaping my career. I further pursued 'Managing and Developing People and Organization' from Liverpool University, UK, and enriched my leadership skills through Harvard University's ManageMentor program. Alongside, I earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in Business Management. Despite the pandemic's challenges, I also triumphed in obtaining an MBA in Hospitality Management.
