Born in Santiago de Chile and educated at the Instituto Nacional, he started his hotel career in the 1970’s at the front desk of one of the signature hotels of its time in Santiago Centro, the private Hotel Conquistador.
A top-of-his-class degree from the International Hotel School Tegernsee-Bad Wiessee in Bavaria, Germany, marked the beginning of an impressive international management career. Several operational positions with Hilton International in Berlin, Frankfurt and Montreal rounded his expertise in rooms division and sales. As executive manager in private hotels in Hamburg and Berlin he managed the turn-around and established profitable food & beverage and banqueting operations.
The international assignments with prestigious Shangri-la hotels in Beijing, and an upscale US hotel brand in Dresden (Germany), then Baku (Azerbaijan) and Paris (France), followed by Sofia (Bulgaria), added very successful hotel openings to his professional experience as general manager. He is currently managing a luxury hotel for a leading international hotel company in an East African capital.
