I consider myself a Passionate Hotelier" having experienced hospitality in many countries as Europe, South Asia & Middle East within the Food & Beverage Department. From restaurants, banquets and room service to hospitality consultancy.
One of my biggest accomplishments was when I managed to boost both sales and profit up to 40 % in a Fine Dining Restaurant making it a success story after a year. Studying the market, reducing the food cost by making it to 29% , advertising and introducing the restaurant concept was the key to the success.
On the top of this, I was able to manage a team from 15 to 30 people to whom I had hands on approach and regular training and that turned into a smooth ambiance and operation. I realized that I developed good management and leadership skills driven by my curiosity to learn which adds up to my capacity of communication and my dedication.
My desire is to become part of a visionary organization that cares as much for their financial future as for their employees future.
