BIOGRAPHY

With more than 15 years of leadership in luxury hospitality, I have had the privilege of shaping some of the world’s most iconic hotels and resorts. My passion lies in creating meaningful guest experiences and unlocking the full potential of each brand within its market. 
I currently serve as General Manager of One&Only Aesthesis in Athens, a landmark resort on the Athenian Riviera that blends contemporary luxury with cultural authenticity and sustainable innovation. Before joining One&Only, I spent nearly a decade leading the legendary Prince de Galles, Paris, overseeing 159 rooms, Michelin-recognized dining, and one of Europe’s most celebrated hotel bars. My journey as a General Manager began in 2010 with leadership roles at the storied Hotel Bristol Vienna and Hotel Goldener Hirsch Salzburg, where I built a strong foundation in guest satisfaction and brand positioning. 
Fluent in English, French, and German, I bring a global perspective with local sensitivity to every role I take on. I hold a Global Executive MBA from NEOMA Business School in Paris, which further strengthened my commitment to leadership, innovation, and continuous growth. 
At my core, I believe hospitality is more than service, it is about creating lasting memories, inspiring teams, and ensuring each property becomes a true reflection of its destination and its brand promise.
