What I'm looking for

I seek a hospitality or operations leadership role where I can drive revenue growth, improve processes, train teams, and implement financial controls in a collaborative, growth-focused company.

I am a results-driven hospitality manager and accountant with extensive experience setting up and operating hotels, supervising staff, and managing accounting and administrative functions. I have a proven track record increasing sales and profits, implementing credit-control systems, and listing properties on online travel agencies to boost direct bookings.

I have led hotel openings, trained teams in customer service and operations, and managed payroll, bank reconciliations, financial reporting and audits. As a self-employed hospitality consultant and former hotel manager, I deliver practical business advisory, inventory and software implementation, and customer-service training that improve efficiency and profitability.
