I am CEO and also Leading Training Specialist at Centurion Hospitality. In my daily life I am involved in tourism and hospitality projects, as well as the introduction of hospitality in retail, finance, insurance, car trade, health and the IT industry. I consider personal experience to be my greatest added value – I have 10 years of experience in management at five-star hotels, and I am a customer of many industries on a daily basis. This has a significant advantage, as in every project and training, I can share real-life situations and look at any question from the most important ideological perspective – the viewpoint of a customer.
Until 2015, my daily life involved active travelling and work at both – The Leading Hotels of the World and Radisson BLU five-star hotels. I began my career by serving guests at the reception, managing the reservations department, as well as coordinating various sales and marketing activities. As my experience grew, I was entrusted with countless projects as well as renovations of differing size and duration. I was also responsible for IT solutions, event management, budgeting, revenue planning and reporting to the board. At the final stage of my hotelier’s career, I was hotel manager of a 5-star hotel and was in charge of operations, strategic planning and overall running of the hotel and its staff.
Everyone reaches a point in life where they want to share their knowledge and experience. A point where one is willing to give something valuable to others as gratitude for what has been given to them. This was the moment Centurion Hospitality was born, with a noble mission and clear vision of where it should head. Since I founded the company, my aim has remained the same – share knowledge and experience. I want to inspire and raise awareness of how exceptional service and communication impact business growth, client loyalty and the well-being of employees in the long term.
