I'm a hotel GM turned hospitality & service industries consultant with 20+ years executive-level management experience in Europe and the Middle East and interim management and board-level consulting experience in Africa and Asia.

I’m highly creative, passionate about communication, and I possess excellent (interim) management, team working, and training skills. I also have extensive technical and financial knowledge, a flexible approach to changing situations, and a commitment to the highest standards.

I am interested in many things and understand an eclectic mix of business, science, and art. I know people and how to communicate with them, but I also know how to make organisations work and extract the best profits for their many stakeholders.

I have a proven track record of building, leading, and trouble-shooting, physical and virtual teams, which produce excellent results on time, every time.

I’m a decisive, innovative, and people-focused leader and my MBA in International Hospitality and Service Industries Management from Glion Institute of Higher Education lets me combine operational stewardship with academic diligence.

I'm very well networked, a frequent keynote speaker at hospitality, marketing, and customer service conferences and events, and a regular contributor to industry websites and publications such as hoteliermiddleast.com, Hotel News ME, and TTN Middle East.

In another time and place I would have made a great Consigliere or Grand Vizier. Today, I'm a great consultant instead. It may not have the same ring to it, but the results are much the same.
