Experienced restaurant manager and entrepreneur with diverse industry skills.
NamibiaWhat I'm looking for
With over two decades of experience in the hospitality and management sectors, I have honed my skills in various roles, from bartender to general manager. My journey began as a waiter and bartender at Manny’s Restaurant, where I developed a passion for customer service and team leadership. Over the years, I have successfully managed multiple establishments, including Goblins Cove Restaurant and Harvard Cafe, where I demonstrated my ability to drive business growth and enhance operational efficiency.
As an entrepreneur, I founded T3 Computing & Design and currently run Coffee Bean Web Design. My experience in managing my own businesses has equipped me with a deep understanding of financial management, marketing, and customer relations. I thrive in dynamic environments and am committed to delivering exceptional service while fostering a positive workplace culture.
