The Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group (MOHG) has appointed a yield manager to oversee its spa directors.

Spa operations manager Kiki Osada has taken on the additional post of group yield manager. The role has been created to help manage spending and staff scheduling in the group’s spa portfolio, as well as streamlining treatment menus and increasing revenues.
