Before his transition to academia, Brandon spent about three decades in the hospitality industry. Having cut his teeth in hotel sales and business development from the outset of his career, he has gone on to assume various marketing and sales leadership roles for such luxury brands as Starwood, Hyatt, The Raffles, Fullerton Singapore, Small Luxury Hotels and Design Hotels, among others.

Realising a life long aspiration of imparting his knowledge and experience to groom future generations of hospitality professionals, Brandon finds his current role as senior lecturer in the hospitality and tourism management programme at Singapore Institute of Technology especially fulfilling. Notwithstanding, he continues to engage with industry associates in the diverse narratives of shaping our industry through innovation and shared best practices.
