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.

Fast forward two years, we are an award-winning agency building a reputation within the industry, we aren’t normal consultants because we are also operators, we understand the challenges the industry faces because we face them too!

It’s why we can bring real-life knowledge and experience to your operation.


My Interests:

➡️ Auden Hospitality, an advisory agency determined to challenge the expected.
➡️ Keynote speaker sharing ways to think differently about F&B.
➡️ Industry-focused focussed podcast, Hospitality Huddles.
➡️ Newsletter specifically aimed at F&B Leaders, read in 57 countries, F&B Insider.
➡️ Eliminating the stigma around mental health in the hospitality industry.
➡️ Advisor to SaaS products in the hospitality space.


My Highlights:

➡️ Opened 40 restaurants and counting.
➡️ Opened four hotels in two countries.
➡️ Worked in 14 countries across 3 continents.
➡️ Created and opened 8 restaurant brands.
➡️ Managed global operations grossing over $50m annually.
