Dear Hospitality Professional,
I’ve had the enormous pleasure to work as Bartender, Bar Manager and Supervisor in some of the world’s finest establishments, including the luxurious Claridge’s Hotel and Harrods’ in London, the Stravinskij Bar at the Hotel De Russie in Rome, the Relais & Chateaux “Sheen Falls Lodge” in Ireland, the Mandarin Oriental Luxury Hotel in Barcelona and the Boutique Bar in the exclusive five star Ohla Hotel also in Barcelona.

SEMINARS & MENTORING

I truly believe that “knowledge is power” and that a great way to inspire Hospitality Professionals is by supporting them with “smart and efficient” education that includes elements that spark their curiosity and valuable info that they can use on a day to day basis in their workplace to become better professionals.

Having travelled the world, I speak English, Spanish and Italian, which helps a lot when inspiring and sharing value with the trade worldwide.

My Trainings and Seminars are based on techniques and information that you can implement immediately, with practical exercises that will allow you to better memorize the concepts that we cover.

Alongside professional growth, great attention is given to the personal growth as I truly believe that this is the aspect that will help you excel in what you do when combined with the knowledge about ingredients, techniques, management and leaderships skills.

In this view, let me share with you these Seminars that I’m delivering globally:
