As a lifelong food and beverage operator, I am naturally passionate, creative, and curious about all things food and beverage. I create the space for strategy and the esthetically beautiful to meet operational brilliance and talent. I head all things food and beverages at Makeready, develop restaurant and bar concepts, and manage our projects through opening and beyond. In addition, I have brought my experience, which spans over 25 years, leading high-performing multicultural hospitality teams across all continents and contributing to the realization and opening of over 50 restaurants and luxury hotels around the globe. Our brands are independent, locally inspired, and created in connection to the world around them, person-by-person, city-by-city.

Listed skills include Fine Dining, Cuisine, Menu Development, Pre Opening, and 22 others.
