Carlson Companies has promoted veteran Paul Kirwin to the newly created position of President, Carlson Asia Pacific. Kirwin will be responsible for leading the coordinated development of all of Carlson`s business interests in the Asia Pacific region.
A longtime veteran of Carlson Hotels Worldwide, Kirwin relocated to Singapore after he was named president and managing director of Carlson Hotels Asia Pacific in 2002.
Paul`s new role reflects an organizational first for our company, said Carlson President and Chief Operating Officer Curtis Nelson. Rather than have responsibility for one area of our business, Paul will lead a matrixed organization representing all of our business units.
Kirwin also will retain his title of President, Carlson Hotels – Asia Pacific. He will establish a Singapore office that will serve as headquarters for Carlson hotel, marketing and restaurant operations in the region and begin establishing a shared-services model to handle the common human resources, information technology, finance and strategic sourcing processes for Carlson`s regional businesses.
