Summary

I am a dynamic and results-oriented professional with over six years of management experience in the hospitality industry, now looking to transition into a business operations or customer-focused leadership role outside of hospitality. My background has equipped me with strong expertise in managing complex day-to-day operations, optimizing budgets, improving profit margins, and delivering consistently high levels of customer satisfaction in fast-paced, high-pressure environments.

In my current role as Hotel Manager, I lead cross-functional teams, implement strategic initiatives, and ensure regulatory compliance—all while maintaining a focus on efficiency, service quality, and team performance. I bring a hands-on leadership style and a deep understanding of cost control, revenue management, and stakeholder communication.

I hold a Diploma in Hospitality Management from The Swiss Hotel School, where I specialized in business management, human resources, accounting, and revenue optimization. I am eager to bring my operational leadership experience and customer-centric mindset to a new industry, and contribute to a forward-thinking organization focused on growth, innovation, and excellence.
