About me

As an experienced hotelier expert, I offer a comprehensive solution for hotel and real estate needs. My expertise ranges from the analysis of the "ACTUAL" status to the development of potential improvements and their implementation. I have a deep understanding of the complex hotel industry and have built up extensive know-how over the course of more than 30 years. My focus is on increasing sales and profits as well as increasing efficiency. I understand the importance of integrated teams and place great importance on employee, guest and customer satisfaction. I have a proven track record of pre-opening, opening, turn-around, re-branding and hotel renovations. With excellent communication skills, I am able to inspire and lead teams to achieve company goals. I attach great importance to creating a strong corporate culture and ensuring that everyone involved understands and fulfills their roles. I also have a wealth of experience dealing with management, franchise and leasing contracts.
