I have recently concluded an 8 month consultation contract covering operations, training and development of procedures for the Shanghai office of The Parker Company, a global hospitality FF&E/OS&E Procurement Company and am looking to transition into a facilities/project management role within a hotel group.
My diverse experience detailed in my profile includes client relations, planning, property and project management, construction and design coordination, execution and successful delivery of bespoke luxury condominiums, private residences and palaces as well as the OS&E/FF&E procurement and the successful delivery of large scale hotels in the US, MENA, Europe and Asia.
My passion and interest for the project is only matched by the satisfaction I gain from the process; the ability to successfully deliver superior quality projects to clients and for a company that demand very high standards on schedule and within budget by establishing strong communication between designers, contractors and clients.
With proven success leading multi-cultural teams in diverse regions through clear procedures, interaction and a deep rooted respect and appreciation for the intent, process, mission and vision of the designers, the client and the brand.
