About Todd Hunter

A results-oriented hospitality specialist with over 20 years in operations and management within leading hotels and the catering industry coupled with a passion for quality and standards. 

“For me working in the hospitality industry is not only a profession, but real passion – living a dynamic, interesting and challenging life, improving oneself every day, meeting different people from all over the world, trying always to be immaculate in one’s appearance and attitude, aiming at gaining more and more knowledge and diversify one’s abilities – this is my understanding of an appealing and challenging profession”. 


Integrity-driven, articulate and highly motivated with strong leadership qualities, I am an effective communicator who has persuasive negotiation skills with the ability to maintain an excellent rapport with customers, team members and executive management. With an approachable manner, I am able to develop cohesive teams and pre-opening teams, through a supportive style of leadership using analytical and financial management skills to peak performance in efficiency, service and quality. I possess keen cultural awareness and essential language abilities.
