George Ribare

I am a results-driven Director of Food and Beverage with over 15 years of progressive leadership in luxury hotels, resorts, and large convention centres. I specialise in optimising operations, elevating guest experience, and driving significant revenue growth.

I have overseen multi-outlet operations and large event spaces, managed multi‑million dollar budgets, and led teams of 100+ professionals to deliver consistent service excellence and compliance. My approach blends strategic planning, cost control, and technology adoption to improve margins and efficiency.

My track record includes substantial revenue increases, major cost reductions, and the launch of numerous F&B concepts that boosted patronage and media attention. I am certified in HACCP, WSET, Azure, and occupational health and safety, and I prioritise sustainable sourcing, waste reduction, and data-driven decision making.

I am passionate about developing high-performing teams through training and upskilling, executing flawless events, and introducing innovative beverage and culinary programmes. I seek to bring my leadership, commercial focus, and operational expertise to a prestigious organisation looking to grow and modernise its F&B offer.
