2021 JUDGE’S PROFILE
Lizah Bywater
Senior Director of Marketing
Four Seasons Resorts Maldives
If anyone embodies the transformative effects of Four Seasons Resorts Maldives, its award-winning global marketing executive, Lizah Bywater. During a 23-year Four Seasons tenure, her 15 years at the helm of Revenue Management, Marketing and Communications for the collection’s four Maldivian gems have taken her on a voyage of self-discovery that mirrors the environmental and wellness evolution of these landmark properties.
It’s a journey that has not only impacted her life “beyond words” but inspired her to encourage her teams and guests – from the eleven diverse global markets she oversees – to undertake similar life-enhancing transformations. “Working with such extraordinary teams of Ayurvedic and Naturopathic doctors, marine biologists and conservationists, it’s impossible not to be influenced for the better,” she shares.
A global citizen with more than 30 years in luxury hospitality, she’s seen it all – and is now on a mission to try and help change it all for the better, too.
