Aileene Thangaveloo

Founder & Principal Consultant

Service is in my heart. I especially enjoy working with growing brands, and being a part of their journey. Most of all, it’s important that we have fun while doing the work.”


After over 30 years of working in corporate marketing and communications, it was time to feed my entrepreneurial spirit and share my international brand experience in a new capacity. I created TripNTravel Marketing Services in 2019 with the aim of nurturing growing brands in the Hospitality, Lifestyle and F&B industries and helping with their strategies and execution across the spectrum of marketing, communications and media relations.

I love the relationships and engagement from being co-pilot in my clients’ growth journeys, and having them trust my stewardship, insights and creativity as we work to achieve their marketing goals. It’s my way of giving back - as advisor, coach and mentor - from the wealth of knowledge and experience that I’ve had the privilege of being exposed to over the course of my own career.

I really enjoy the industry and have so much passion for it. Hospitality, Lifestyle and F&B are very much in my DNA. I’m a naturally gregarious person and I thrive in an environment that has many opportunities for people-facing work and exciting projects!

I love golf and consider myself a steady social golfer. I enjoy challenging myself on the course - every shot is down to me - it’s both calming and invigorating at the same time.

In my spare time, I enjoy a good read, chilling with a glass of wine, or creating content on social media. For special treats, Chateau Margeaux or Antinori Solaia with a meal will do nicely. Even better if I can be enjoying it all at Hyatt Regency Bali - a property that I’ve known and loved since when it was Bali Hyatt.
