What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that values exceptional guest service and team collaboration.

I am an experienced Hotel Assistant Manager with a strong background in ensuring smooth operations and delivering exceptional guest service. Over the years, I have honed my skills in team leadership, problem-solving, and optimizing profitability. My journey in the hospitality industry has equipped me with the ability to manage diverse teams and maintain high standards of service.

In my most recent role as Restaurant Manager at Við Voginn Restaurant, I led a team of over 15 staff members, focusing on achieving excellent customer service standards. I managed daily operations, including staffing, inventory, and customer service, while implementing cost-effective strategies to enhance efficiency and increase profits. My previous experiences as a Hotel Receptionist and Assistant General Manager have further solidified my expertise in guest relations and operational management.

With a multilingual background and a commitment to excellence, I strive to create memorable experiences for guests while fostering a positive work environment for my team. I am passionate about driving revenue growth and exceeding performance goals, and I am eager to bring my skills to a new opportunity in the hospitality sector.
