Other

As you can take from the attached c.v. I have held several Senior Management positions, particularly in the international Hospitality Industry. I am sure the required skills are also sought after in other industries, especially in the fields of Marketing, Purchasing, Quality and Project Management.

In my last few positions my responsibilities have included the daily mangement of multiple hotels, the identification of training and development needs and implementing appropriate strategies and action plans in support of the corporate objectives. This resulted in:
operational and marketing audits
performance and quality reviews
the re-structuring of operational processes
the implementation of new policies and consequently
the development of business, management and staff

My personal strengths include general business and people management, motivating and coaching skills, enthusiasm, flexibility, a solid knowledge and mastery of operational analysis, planning, co-ordinating and strategic thinking, as well as a sound understanding of people and cultural sensitivity.

In addition to this, I speak 5 European languages to a very high degree of fluency. My perseverance, a dynamic approach to work and the ability to work effectively as an individual within a team, has helped me to evaluate and successfully achieve my personal and professional goals and objectives. These skills have been critically important to my development within the positions I have held.

This letter and c.v. provide only the basis of my career achievements and I would be pleased to discuss these at your convenience.

I look forward to hearing from you shortly.
