Self- introduction
Leaving the UK at 18 years old in 1991, I worked as a Chef in Switzerland for 8 years before coming to Korea in 1999. With over 20 years’ experience in Hospitality within South Korea, Seoul I have a full understanding of the Korean culture and trends, using my knowledge of Korean I can communicate in both my mother tongue which is English, German and Korean too. I find most professional staff enjoy communicating with me in English to maintain verbal practice within their work.
I have in my previous positions within 5 Star Hotels, Westin Hilton been an integral part of pre planning and active renovations, regarding all areas of the Hotel Operations. Using my Strong F B and Operations experience I can ali many important insights in plans and designs that can be easily missed, also with other key members find and discuss the market required and what market share we target before, to make sure the strategy in place is well thought and planned in advance.
I thrive on passing on my knowledge to others and enjoy holding rewarding but fun training sessions for team Members to make sure all standards, goals and strategies are understood by all. I have a ‘Train The Trainer’ certificate and also hold a ‘Black Belt’ in Six Sigma from years ago.
I have always had a strong and friendly character which makes me an easy person to work with and for, Work Unions and Team Members often praise my working ethic. During all positions in the past I have also been the employee responsible for qualifying and passing the Brand International Standards set by the Management, together with the Property Owners we successfully managed to achieve and maintain the high quality of Hygiene, Control and guest Service that the owners and the customers demand.
