Skills, Values, and Education

It is always a difficult task to explore our own skills with absolute candor...

It is impossible to separate my personal beliefs – my behavior – from the values and principles that I implement, protect, and enhance in my working environment.

It is my pledge as a Leader, to apply all my technical abilities to obtain the best possible Financial results in my hotel, with ultimate Quality, the most personalized service, and flawless Products – regardless of what executive position I have.

My demeanor is always based on Truth and mutual Respect for ALL persons I deal with - colleagues, guests, suppliers, authorities, and my employer!

EDUCATION

My former training in Architecture and Visual Arts has been a tremendous help for my Hospitality Career.

Particularly, during my pre-opening jobs and consulting services advising owners and architects to design hospitality facilities with a clear understanding of the mechanics during the operation - that is the time when the Quality of Design and Equipment will show...

For instance, easy access to every corner of the building - either for cleaning or maintenance - could be a real challenge if the Design was not realistic ...
