Experienced Hotels & Hospitality Professional

  

Experienced Hospitality Professional | Former Soho House & Mövenpick Associate | Passionate About Service, Leadership & Guest Experience

Let me introduce myself with a following biography.


“Hospitality has shaped my life, every guest, every shift, every new challenge taught me something valuable. I’m ready to have on a role where I can grow, inspire, and make people feel truly welcome. I believe the best service comes from the heart, and that’s exactly what I bring to every day at work.”


I am a stable, healthy, and active individual, always seeking new challenges and exploring diverse opportunities grounded in sincerity, appreciation, and compassion.


My strongest traits are honesty and team player. I am also highly loyal and strive to maintain a balance that aligns with the demands of my environment.


Experience

Extensive global experiences have shaped me into who I am today. Everything I’ve seen and endured from life under communism to witnessing the fall of the Berlin Wall has brought me to where I currently stand in life.


With over 30 years of professional experience, I’ve had the opportunity to run two businesses: a cocktail bar and a bistro. I’ve worked with various hotel software systems, such as Fidelio, Protel, Opera, Amadeus, IDPMS, and Hetras. I’m skilled in administrative tasks, proficient in Microsoft Word and Excel, and comfortable working with both Windows and Apple systems.


Through my work in different countries like Austria and Germany, as well as the Netherlands, I’ve gained versatile experience, not only in front-office roles but also in food & beverage and security-related functions, adding to my colourful international background.


Notable positions at establishments such as Mövenpick Hotels & Resorts, Grand Hotel Amrâth Kurhaus, Hotel des Indes and Soho House have left a significant mark on my career, leading me to where I am today.


Skills

I hold an MBO Certificate as well as BHV (Emergency Response) and BMI (Building Management Installation) certifications. Thanks to my international experience, I am fluent in both Dutch and English, with some proficiency in German.


I am also passionate about art, photography and photo editing, and I have been engaged in various media activities for years. Combined with my interest in sports and healthy living, I bring both technical skills and creative flair to the table.
