Quotes attributable to GM Sales and Distribution Jennifer Warn:
“It’s a pleasure to be stepping into a new role at Ascott Australia, particularly given the recent progress we’ve made towards enshrining additional gender equality policies in our workplace. What we’ve put in place represents tangible progress for both Ascott and our industry.”

“I’m incredibly proud of what we’ve achieved through the pandemic in terms of keeping the bulk of our sales team employed and our properties open, which was so important for our relationships with our key supplier partners.”

“Our biggest challenge is still ahead of us. We can’t make assumptions and need to continue to ensure we lead the industry in our knowledge of the market given the impending economic changes we know are coming within the next 6 months. Conditions across industries are now changing weekly, which makes our trusting relationships with key industry partners crucial so we can work together to meet their changing needs.”

“I would like to thank my colleague Anthea Dimitrakopoulos who was integral in my appointment and continues to crystallise a supportive culture for everyone at Ascott. Anthea laid out a path for me and I thank her for the coaching she provided. It’s my goal now to nurture all of my colleagues and provide them with opportunities to advance their careers and secure better outcomes for everyone who works at Ascott Australia.”
