Get to know me better

I am a highly adaptable, hands-on chef-operator who combines culinary expertise with sharp business control to deliver consistent high-quality results

Experienced Chef Manager with over 18 years in international kitchens, ranging from high-end resorts and private chalets to restaurants and large-scale catering operations. I combine strong culinary skills with full operational and financial control, managing everything from menu development and cost optimisation to logistics and team leadership.

I thrive in fast-paced, high-pressure environments where adaptability and consistency are key. Whether working autonomously as a private chef or leading multi-outlet operations, I focus on delivering high-quality food, efficient systems, and memorable guest experiences.

My approach is hands-on and practical, with a strong emphasis on organisation, cost control, and maintaining high standards in food safety and service. I am particularly comfortable in seasonal and remote operations, where planning, flexibility, and problem-solving are essential.
