In 2015 I threw away a 15-year career... and it was the best thing I ever did!

I left luxury hotels to work in independent restaurants and quickly learnt that restauranteurs think differently than Hoteliers.

While doing so, I worked across 14 countries in Europe, the Americas and the Middle East.

With some amazing brands & chefs like Dorchester Collection, InterContinental hotels, Alain Ducasse, Dominique Ansel, Greg Malouf, Frederic Vardon and Asia de Cuba.

It has been an amazing journey.

Opening multiple restaurants (40+ and counting)
Opening hotels (4 in total in two countries)
Remotely managing operations internationally (16 brands and 85 restaurants)
Working with suppliers, investors, clients, owners and teams to create unique experiences.  

By the end of 2021, in my role as the COO of a global investment firm, it dawned on me that the skills honed during my time as a restaurateur could be leveraged to benefit hoteliers. 

It became apparent through recurrent feedback that Food and Beverage posed persistent challenges for hoteliers.

So, in March 2022, I created Auden Hospitality with a mission to help hoteliers think differently about their F&B operations to create outlets their guests will love.

All while doing this with a people-centric approach, working with The Burnt Chef Project as an Ambassador to improve the conditions of the amazing people that work in the industry.
