Last week, we were fortunate enough to be invited at Marriot Hotel Manila's Welcome Party for its newly appointed General Manager W. Scott Sibley.
W. Scott Sibley is an industry veteran who started his career in the kitchen and won an executive chef award in 1990. He also published a book called "Tour Southeast Asia with Scott". His passion in the kitchen and unique culinary talent gave paved way to his dynamic hospitality career with Marriott from Marriot USA, Canada, UAE, South Korea and now the Philippines.
Scott shares that he has found love here in the Philippines from people, culture, to the feel of a beautiful tropical country. Though born and raised in the USA, Scott is happily married to a Filipina and he has been a father to the 96% Filipino staffs of Marriott Guam Resort and Spa. During the welcome party, Scott proudly told us that he has long been waiting for the opportunity to work in the Philippines.
When Scott was appointed he gave a heart-felt talk stating that "I realized that great leaders are those who value teamwork and worth of his people while he takes time to hone his expertise. I’m glad that this company instills this kind of culture so I am confident that Marriott Manila associates are not just anyone else. Staffs are service-oriented, food and beverage offerings continue to become more exciting, and guests simply realize that there’s more to experience at Marriott Manila. I am confident that our property will soar higher and better this year".
Marriott Hotel Manila sure knows how to throw a party with great food, drinks and entertainment. During the party, I also had conversations with their corporate clients who are very pleased with the services of Marriott Manila. With its new General Manager Scott Sibley, there's no doubt in my mind that Marriott Hotel Manila will achieve more in the coming years.
