Vaysse brings over 25 years of hospitality experience to the Philippines. As the former COO of Ascott Limited of Indonesia, his role was pivotal in securing the group’s entry into the full-service hotel industry with the acquisition of the Indonesian hospitality giant Tauzia, with brands such as Préférence, Vertu, Harris, Fox, Yello, Pop.  Thrilled to contribute his technical know-how, Vaysse leverages corporate realism, financial acumen, and deep multicultural hospitality experience to elevate the Philippine portfolio.

The company has expanded its portfolio in the Philippines to an impressive 32 serviced residences.
