From starting as a bell boy trainee to becoming a Food and Beverage Director, my journey through the hospitality industry has taken me across Europe, the UAE, and Southeast Asia, encompassing roles in both hotels and restaurant companies. Now, after 7 fulfilling years in Cambodia, I am embarking on my most exciting venture yet - founding my first restaurant Hybrid Kitchen. MEP Hospitality is more than just a company; it is a vision and a commitment. It is the umbrella organization for all my future restaurant ventures, starting with Hybrid Kitchen. At MEP, we are dedicated to more than just serving food; our focus is on education and sharing a passion for the hospitality industry. Over the years, I have discovered that my true calling lies in inspiring and sharing knowledge, rather than merely managing and controlling.MEP Hospitality will guide all our projects with a clear vision for human resource management, education, and community engagement. It is the hat that will provide the right guidance to all the projects I will be involved in, ensuring they align with my long-term goals of education and community focus.Join me on this journey as we redefine what it means to be a part of the food and beverage industry and create a legacy of inspiration, education, and community.
