Prior to this, Ms Collinson spent 12 years living in Singapore, gaining more than 10 years’ experience as senior vice president legal and general counsel at InterContinental Hotels Group Asia Pacific.

Reporting to Wyndham president and managing director Barry Robinson, as well as the US-based Wyndham Vacation Ownership general counsel, Ms Collinson’s new role sees her oversee the company’s legal and compliance team, which is domiciled across offices on the Gold Coast and Singapore.

Ms Collinson brings to her new role extensive experience in all aspects of international hospitality law, including multi-jurisdictional hotel and resort development, regulatory compliance, investment, capital expenditure and business model review and development.
