US-born Matt Lo brings a management-consultant’s brain and an innovator's passion to hospitality. An early career with Ernst & Young in Hong Kong honed his consulting craft, and offered unique insights into Asian markets sculpting growth strategies for multinational giants. Matt was introduced to luxury travel when he was recruited to join NYC travel tech startup, Porter & Sail, as one of its founding team. Here he learned to see hotels as vibrant storytellers, intricately weaving tales of place and tradition. Matthew piloted Porter & Sail's strategic foray into the Asia-Pacific with a move to Singapore. In 2019, Matt founded Advant with a goal to change the way the luxury sector interacts with patrons in the digital age.
