What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead hospitality operations across multiple units—streamlining processes, elevating guest experiences, and growing revenue—while coaching teams and ensuring full health, safety, and brand compliance.

I am a highly skilled, results-driven Head of Hospitality with over 7 years of experience in multi-unit operations, front office management, administration, and guest services. I currently lead hospitality operations for Morning Star Resort Machakos and three Chocolate City branches under Select Port Solutions Ltd, optimizing daily execution, enhancing guest satisfaction, and driving revenue growth.

I excel at revitalizing underperforming units, streamlining processes, and delivering memorable guest experiences. I have standardized procurement and inventory tracking to reduce stock variances, food wastage, and pilferage, and I’ve implemented SOPs that strengthen service quality and full compliance with health, safety, and brand standards.

I also bring strong people leadership across F&B, front office, and housekeeping—training and supervising teams to improve performance and retention. From increasing occupancy by 15%, boosting guest satisfaction scores by 20%, to reducing check-in/check-out times by 20%, I focus on measurable outcomes while tailoring service delivery through initiatives like menu refreshes, theme nights, and guest feedback programs.
