Prior to joining The Westin Singapore, Ms Lee was with The Portman Ritz-Carlton, Shanghai.

In The Westin Singapore, Alicia will work closely with the team in establishing strong awareness to continue positioning the hotel as one of the leading hotels in Singapore, and overseeing the hotel's room, meetings, and convention businesses.
