Sands said: “I’m excited and honoured to be taking a larger role within such an important pillar of Six Senses. Having been part of the growth of Six Senses, in terms of its wellness programming and sustainability practices, it’s impossible not to be inspired by how the company has kept improving over the past seven years.
