I am a polyvalent, creative, and highly accomplished chef with more than 20 years of experience spanning menu and recipe development, kitchen design, and operations management at top-tier restaurants, hotels, cruise ships, and other locations across the world. This includes successful tenures at high-rated establishments with multiple locations and outlets as well as VIP events for royalty, heads of state, ambassadors, and celebrities. In addition, I have been a key member of the opening teams for several major venues, including the first Hard Rock Hotel in Europe. I am an expert in architecting new kitchens and equipping them with the highest quality equipment whilst effectively controlling costs across all areas. I am well-versed in several styles of cuisine, including Classical French & Spanish, European Continental, Mediterranean, African, Latin, and Western. I am passionate about providing an exceptional experience to all guests, creating innovative recipes that blend old and new world techniques, flavors, and ingredients, and exploring new trends in cooking. I am open to new connections and would love to explore opportunities where I can apply my expertise to launch a new kitchen or revitalize an existing venue.
