Cambodia Leadership Review Launches Top 30 F&B and Hospitality 2025 Magazine
PHNOM PENH, Cambodia, June 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Cambodia Leadership Review magazine has officially launched its fourth edition, spotlighting 30 outstanding international leaders driving innovation and excellence in Cambodia's fast-growing food, beverage, and hospitality sectors.
The special edition, produced in partnership with the International Business Chamber of Cambodia (IBC), is the second instalment in the magazine's Top 30 Leaders series—following the 2024 finance-focused issue. The new release reflects the growing prominence of Cambodia's hospitality industry as it enters a more sophisticated and globally connected phase.
"This edition turns its spotlight to the dynamic and rapidly evolving F&B and hospitality sectors—two pillars of Cambodia's post-pandemic recovery and international appeal," said Harrison White, Editor of Cambodia Leadership Review. "From luxury heritage hotels to purpose-driven distilleries, these leaders are redefining what hospitality means in Cambodia today."
Regional Growth and Sector Transformation
Cambodia's hospitality and tourism sectors have long straddled dual identities—welcoming both global luxury travelers and budget-conscious backpackers. However, with increased international investment, rising service standards, and a new wave of culinary creativity, the Kingdom is quickly catching up to regional peers such as Thailand and Vietnam.
"International hotel brands, award-winning distilleries, and upscale culinary concepts are reshaping the landscape—positioning Cambodia alongside its neighbours in terms of sophistication and innovation," Harrison added.
The featured leaders span a broad mix of roles—from general managers of five-star hotels to distillers, restaurateurs, and industry advocates—each contributing to the sector's growing maturity, sustainability, and global relevance.
Transparent Selection Process
The Top 30 list was curated by a panel of three independent judges from both CIR Media and IBC. Candidates were evaluated across four main criteria: impact, uniqueness, reach, and connection with the ecosystem. Judges considered how each individual contributed to Cambodia's F&B and hospitality industries through leadership, creativity, and engagement with local and international networks.
Full List of Top 30 F&B & Hospitality Leaders 2025:
Elevating the Industry
As Cambodia strives toward becoming an upper middle-income country by 2030, the role of experienced and visionary leaders becomes ever more important. The Top 30 F&B & Hospitality 2025 edition reflects a mix of global experience and local commitment—spotlighting those who are not only succeeding in business but also shaping the future of Cambodia's service economy.
"These leaders are helping Cambodia compete not just as a destination, but as a place to build, invest, and create," said Harrison.
The magazine is now available in both digital and print formats and will be distributed to stakeholders across Cambodia's business community, hospitality schools, and regional partners.

Driving Clean Energy Forward: SANY R.E. Marks Milestone in Europe with Serbia's Alibunar Wind Power Project
BEIJING, June 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- As the global spotlight turns once again to the urgency of climate action, SANY Renewable Energy is making that commitment tangible, not just in words, but in megawatts. Recently, SANY R.E. signed a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) and Contract for Difference (CfD) with Serbia's Alibunar Project. More than just a new market entry, the project reflects SANY R.E.'s resolve to drive clean energy solutions where they're needed most. The Alibunar project is situated in eastern Serbia, which is one of the country's richest areas for wind resources. Expected to achieve commercial operation in 2028, the project has an operation period of 25 years. With a total installed capacity of 168MW, the project can produce electricity of about 480 million kWh annually after completion. When grid-connected, it will offer Serbia a large amount of clean energy, which will help optimize the local energy structure and reduce the reliance on traditional fossil energy. The Alibunar project is SANY R.E.'s first investment in Serbia and a milestone in its global clean energy layout. Zhou Fugui, Chairman of SANY R.E., said: "The Alibunar wind project is of great importance to us, marking our entry into the wider European market. We will actively co-operate with local partners and introduce advanced wind power technologies and solutions to help Serbia realize its energy transition and sustainable development goals." As a leading global provider of wind power solutions, SANY R.E. has been committed to providing efficient and reliable wind power equipment and support. In the process of the project, SANY R.E. will leverage its technical advantages to ensure the efficient advancement and stable operation of the project. Meanwhile, the company's local professional operation and maintenance team will provide comprehensive support for the project. SANY R.E. has made climate action central to its sustainability strategy, supporting the Paris Agreement goal of limiting global warming to 1.5°C. In 2024, its wind turbines generated 135.8 billion kWh of electricity, cutting CO₂ emissions by 72.87 million tons — equal to planting 3.3 billion trees. The company also advances eco-friendly turbine design, aiming to raise the recyclability of mainstream models to 95% by 2030, based on 2020 levels. Looking ahead, SANY R.E. will continue to contribute to the global energy transition by providing high-quality wind power solutions to more countries and regions, collaborating to create a cleaner energy future.

Microban International Unveils H2O Shield, a Portfolio of PFAS-Free Water-Resistant Textile Technologies
Tailored solutions provide excellent water repellency while addressing key concerns such as fabric chalk mark defects and seam slippage HUNTERSVILLE, N.C., June 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Microban International, the leader in product protection solutions, announced the launch of H 2 O Shield, a PFAS- and PFOS-free water-resistant finish portfolio for textiles.

The finish has also been proven to maintain effectiveness even after 20+ home launderings. Beyond water resistance, H 2 O Shield is designed to integrate seamlessly with other Microban technologies, including antimicrobial and odor control solutions.
