In my role as Director of Operations, I am responsible for overseeing 14 Kew Green owned hotels in South & Central UK. As a Brazilian born UK national and a seasoned international hotelier I joined Kew Green Hotels in May 2021 from the Radisson Hotel Group where I spent 15 years in senior management roles. I have lived and worked in many countries around the world including Brazil, Portugal, Angola, Iran, Russia, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Slovenia, Eritrea and Oman to name a few with over twenty years working with IHG properties. I am also a supporter of Oxford Brookes University as a mentor to the university undergraduates on their world-renowned Bacchus Mentor/mentee programme. Through my passion for the environment I was delighted to be presented with a Queens Award for Enterprise-Sustainable Development in 2005.
