Rekha is a hotel investment specialist with a strong track record across acquisitions, advisory, operations and capital raising. Over the course of her career, she has worked as a lender, principal investor and advisor, giving her a multi-lens perspective on how ESG considerations influence value, risk and investment decision-making in hospitality.
She holds an MBA from INSEAD and is an Associate Chartered Management Accountant.
