Julie Purser, Marriott International's VP of Marketing for Loyalty & Partnership in Asia Pacific, is articulate, outspoken, a ton of fun to talk to, and someone whose adventurous spirit I admire so much. She came to Hong Kong seven years ago with her husband and 18-month daughter, and has never looked back. Julie talks about the pros and cons of making friends in a cosmopolitan city where expats come and go, the stresses and rewards for a marriage when making such a dramatic move, and even shares her approach to parenting. Joining Marriott in the middle of a pandemic has been challenging, but not for reasons we may expect, so it's been illuminating to hear Julie explain the hardest part of the experience.
