Distinctive Backgrounds. Collective Ambition.

Leadership

A Leadership Perspective, Broadly Drawn.

GD Group's leadership brings together distinctive careers across law, finance, hotels & resorts, wellness, real estate development, construction, restaurants, publishing and entrepreneurship. This breadth of experience creates a leadership perspective that is both commercially grounded and unusually diverse, combining curiosity and creative thinking with financial discipline, operational expertise and long-term vision.

Gordon Oldham is the Founder and Chairman of GD Group, a private international group with businesses and investments spanning hotels and resorts, wellness, real estate, restaurants, media and publishing, and finance.

Based between Hong Kong and Europe, Gordon has spent nearly four decades building OLN, the law firm he founded in 1987, into one of Hong Kong's leading independent practices. His legal career has shaped the Group's disciplined approach to governance, international business, cross-border relationships and long-term risk.

Alongside law, Gordon has consistently moved early into emerging cultural, media and lifestyle sectors. His past ventures have included Trans-Asian satellite music channels that contributed to the development of MTV Asia, the Chinese-language edition of Forbes, and specialist publications covering adventure travel, spa and wellness, boating, luxury property and aviation.

These ventures reflect a consistent entrepreneurial outlook: curiosity about how people live, travel, invest and seek new experiences, combined with an instinct for ideas whose potential has yet to be fully realised. Gordon is naturally drawn to independent thinking, unusual places and opportunities that sit beyond established formulae.

That outlook can be seen throughout GD Group today. Its hotel businesses celebrate the character of individual destinations. Its real estate projects restore, enhance and create long-term asset value. Its wellness ventures explore healthier and more purposeful ways of living, while its restaurants, publications and investments connect people with new ideas, experiences and opportunities.

At Gordon's side throughout much of this journey has been his wife, Danielle, whose longstanding support and involvement, particularly in the hospitality side of the business, have formed an important part of the Group's story, and the GD name carries a quiet but powerful acknowledgement of that partnership.

Gordon's vision is not to impose a single formula across these businesses, but to give each the leadership, freedom and support required to become the strongest version of itself.

Florence Wong leads the strategic direction, business management and international development of the Group's hotel and wellness businesses. She is responsible for guiding long-term growth, overseeing financial strategy and ensuring that each business develops in line with the Group's commitment to distinctive, highly personalised experiences.

A former Big Four professional and a Chartered Accountant with the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales, Florence brings a strong corporate and financial foundation to the hospitality and wellness sectors. Her previous experience includes an in-house mergers and acquisitions role, alongside advising companies on expansion strategy, capital raising, transactions and exit planning.

At The Pavilions Hotel Group and REVĪVŌ, Florence applies this commercial perspective to brand development, investment decisions and sustainable international growth. Her leadership supports the continued evolution of The Pavilions Hotel Group as a collection of distinctive hotels rooted in authenticity and local connection, while advancing REVĪVŌ's position across destination wellness, preventative health and transformative guest experiences.

With a focus on value creation, disciplined expansion and enduring brand integrity, Florence is helping shape the Group's future while protecting the individuality, character and sense of place that distinguish its businesses.

Danilo Primerano advises GD Group at the most senior level across its Hotels & Resorts, Restaurants & Bars and Real Estate divisions. Working alongside the Founder and the Chief Executive, he contributes to the strategic direction and growth of the Group.

Danilo brings more than thirty years of industry experience across both the operational and entrepreneurial sides of hospitality. He has owned and operated hotels and restaurants, held senior management responsibilities internationally and taken venues from initial concept through to opening, with full commercial accountability for their performance.

Within the Group, he shapes hotel and restaurant strategy, leads the assessment of new projects and identifies investment and development opportunities. His particular strength lies in creating new concepts: defining the idea, establishing the operating standards and overseeing delivery through opening and into trading.

Throughout his work, the emphasis remains consistent: guest experience, product quality and commercial performance.
