Mr Koos Klein, President of Hilton Hotels Corp (HHC) Asia-Pacific, has announced he will leave the company by the end of the year.

Mr Klein has been at HHC in Asia-Pacific for the past 10 years and was recently named Asia-Pacific Hotelier of the Year by Jones Lang LaSalle Hotels. He plans to return to Australia where his two sons are studying and take some time off before considering a new role in a Sydney based company.

Mr Ian Carter, HHC President said: 

“Koos has made an enormous contribution to the success of our business, particularly in terms of our presence and our prospects for growth and development in Asia.  We are now well positioned for high growth potential in the key markets of both India and China.  During his leadership in Asia, Koos has opened many of our flagship Hilton hotels such as Sydney, as well as leading resort hotels, which has resulted in the company establishing a strong brand presence and awareness in the region.”

Mr Klein’s decision had everything to do with his personal life, he told TTG Daily News, and his desire to be closer to his family in Sydney.
