I am a seasoned, well-traveled, leader of the event, trade show and Food and Beverage business. An outside the box thinker and results oriented with over twenty years of experience. I possess a true passion for building relationships and exceeding client expectations. Moved to Toronto in 2014 and loved it since! As a leader in many types of environments, I have proven to be successful in the areas of sales management, large event management, multi-outlet management, cost control, guest satisfaction and operations always maximizing bottom line.I have worn many hats in my career; from building pubs and a cafe from scratch, to managing hotel's multi-service department and trade show exhibit, to the full spectrum of HR activities. My experience has taught me that my professional value boils down to the following.-I don't care who gets the credit, I just want my team to win.-I always challenge old habits with outside the box suggestions to make sure that my team is doing the best it can in all circumstances.-I am a people gatherer and a strong motivator. Something positive always comes out of team conflict resolution and I love it!-There is always something to do to be more cost efficient.-As an ex-business owner; I can't spend one dollar without asking myself if I really have to... -Having worked for many Hotel chains, operation standards are not secret to me.-I am the calm and composed one.-If I was an animal, a squid would do the trick with 8 arms and a big brain to always figure a way out a problem.-I am multi-linguist, I speak French, Spanish and English. In the hospitality business, understanding the guests a little more is always a plus.I love making new professional acquaintances, reach out if you like discussing food, wine and Zumba music!
