Genuine Hospitality by Francis Gotianun

In an intimate conversation with Lifestyle Asia, the first senior vice president for Filinvest Hospitality Corporation (FHC), Francis Gotianun shares that his responsibilities span the entire lifecycle of Filinvest's hospitality developments – from acquisition, overseeing renovation and construction, to asset management, and handling reinvestments.

After graduating from Xavier School in San Juan, Francis earned his undergraduate degree in Commerce, specializing in marketing and international business at the University of Virginia. It was during his time at the McIntire School of Commerce and as he completed his Master's in Business Administration at IESE Barcelona in 2010 that his interest in hospitality began to take shape.

"Our business objective back then, much like today, was to establish ourselves as the most valuable and admired hospitality company. We aimed to redefine Filipino hospitality with top-notch products and services to ensure our guests create meaningful memories," Francis elaborates.

"The pandemic was the toughest period for me, given the multitude of challenges it posed to the hospitality industry." It was the unwavering support of family, friends, and colleagues that truly carried him through.

"It's not just about a place to stay; it's about creating moments and memories that our guests will cherish long after they've left."
