With over three decades of experience in the industry of transforming leaders and teams, Dr. Lau has certainly proven herself an expert in the field. As a dynamic, results driven leader, Dr. Lau is Vice President Business Solutions & Member Experience at Tiger Resort, Leisure and Entertainment Inc. Her background is in monitoring the company's overall operations to adhere to policies, procedures, and best practices in a few key areas where she has been a critical contributor for the companies she has worked. Dr. Manida started her career in the 1980s at the Grand Hyatt Macau when an internship with the PBX department resulted in a front desk position—an experience that changed her path from pursuing medicine to hospitality. A significant milestone during her career was when she joined HTH Corporation in Hawaii. While working toward her bachelor’s degree, she interned twice at HTH, which resulted in full-time employment in Human Resources. She returned to Macau in 2006, where she was part of the opening of Integrated Resorts, Venetian Macau and City of Dreams Macau, shifting her focus from HR to IT and Casino Marketing. She went on to play a fundamental role in opening Studio City Macau and City of Dreams Manila.

Areas of expertise include, but are not limited to improving employee retention, talent management, succession planning, and team member development, successfully launched strategic directives to maximize efficiencies and improve employee performance to exceed business objectives and financial goals as well as developing strong business relationships with all levels of the organization and cultivating partnerships with outside resources to identify top candidates.

Before embarking on her career path, Dr. Lau earned her B.S. in Travel Industry Management from the University of Hawaii – Shidler College of Business, followed by her M.B.A. in Human Resources from Chaminade University of Honolulu. She then completed her education with her Doctor of Business Administration and Management from California Southern University.

Throughout her illustrious career, Dr. Lau has received many awards and accolades and has been recognized worldwide for her accomplishments. In 2024, she was named Top 35 Global Women Thought Leaders and Their Initiatives: Bringing Change, Innovation, and Social Impact.” She was also featured in the August 2023 issue of Macau Business in “Seizing the Momentum” and Issue 28 of SIGMA Magazine in “Shaping the Future: IRs in the Philippines. She has also won the 2024 CXO2.0 Business Leadership Excellence Award. This year the Fluxx Organization chose her as “2025 Visionary of the Year (Marketing), Philippines” in Hong Kong. Next year she will be considered for The Empowered Woman award and to be featured in TIP (Top Industry Professionals) Magazine. She will be honored at IAOTP's annual awards gala at the remarkable Bellagio Hotel in Las Vegas this December for her selection of Top Doctor of the Year in Business Administration for 2025.

The President of the International Association of Top Professionals (IAOTP), Stephanie Cirami, stated: "Choosing Dr. Lau for this honor was an easy decision for our panel to make. She is inspirational, influential, and a true visionary and thought leader. We cannot wait to meet her and celebrate her accomplishments at this year's gala."

Looking back, Dr. Lau attributes her success to a strong values-based leadership style, a passion for her work, and mentors she had along the way. When not working, she enjoys spending time with her family. In the future, Dr. Lau envisions the hospitality sector to be shaped by technology with advancements such as cashless transactions, facial recognition, and eKYC verification. Yet, she stresses that human interaction cannot be replaced in developing outstanding guest experiences.
