Josh Roberts has been appointed as General Manager at Hilton Fukuoka Sea

Replacing Christian Baudat as General Manager at the Hilton Fukuoka Sea Hawk is Josh Roberts, currently serving as Hotel manager at that property. He joined Hilton Worldwide as Director of Sales at Hilton Sydney in 2008 after a hospitality career in Australasia, where he gained experience and held commercial roles at properties in New Zealand, Perth, Canberra and Sydney. Following an appointment as Director of Business Development at Hilton Sydney in 2010, he subsequently relocated to Japan with his family in 2013, playing a key role in Hilton Fukuoka Sea Hawk’s trading success. “Christian’s past experience makes him the perfect choice to lead the rebranding of the Odaiba property to become the Hilton Tokyo Odaiba, with its extensive MICE and banqueting space and large scale F&B operation. We are also delighted to have Josh leading the team at the Hilton Fukuoka Sea Hawk, where he will continue the ongoing evolution of this very successful hotel”, said Timothy Soper, Vice President of Operations for Japan, Korea and Micronesia, Hilton Worldwide.
