Passionate and results-driven hospitality executive with over 20 years of international leadership experience in hotel operations, asset management, and business transformation across Europe, the Caribbean, and beyond.
As COO in leading international hotel groups, I have successfully overseen multi-property operations, repositioned underperforming assets, enhanced EBITDA, and ensured consistent guest experiences across diverse markets.
I specialize in turnaround strategies, brand repositioning, and leading cross-cultural teams to deliver sustainable and measurable growth. My approach blends a strong commercial mindset with operational excellence and human-centric leadership.
