Throughout my 30+ years in the hospitality industry, I have honed my skills as a nurturing leader, skilled problem solver, and strategic thinker. From my early days as a line cook to my role as Founder and Managing Partner of AvroKO Hospitality Group, I have embraced every opportunity to lead and inspire cross-functional teams, drive operational excellence, and create exceptional experiences for both guests and staff. As an Adjunct Professor at New York University, where I taught Managerial Accounting for the Hospitality Industry, I found great fulfillment in leading and educating the next generation of industry professionals, imparting valuable insights, and fostering a passion for excellence in hospitality that is grounded in not only how we treat our customers but also and equally important, how we treat each other. And ourselves. Hospitality, in its true essence, is not just about providing outstanding service; it is about cultivating an all-encompassing philosophy that fosters genuine connections, trust, belonging, equality and equity. I firmly believe that my deep passion for hospitality serves as a foundation to build, lead, and inspire teams across diverse functions & backgrounds. Throughout my career, I have had the privilege to build and lead finance, legal, human resources, and all hospitality initiatives and teams. This cross-functional experience has equipped me with the ability to understand the intricate interplay between different departments, align their goals with the organization's strategic vision, and foster a collaborative work culture that thrives on creativity, innovation, strong work ethic and equality. My leadership style revolves around nurturing healthy and productive relationships at all levels of the organization. I firmly believe that a connected, engaged and respected team is a powerful force for positive change.HospitalityGrowth StrategyConcept DevelopmentConcept Development & TestingRestaurant MenuBusiness AnalysisBusiness DevelopmentAccountingHospitality & TourismFood PhotographyRestaurant & Bar DesignRestaurantFood & BeverageBusiness Plan WritingBusiness Planning & Strategy - $25 hourly
