Since graduation, he went on to become Senior Vice President of HVS Executive Search and recently founded his own hospitality consulting firm, Hospitality Human Capital based in Las Vegas, U.S.A.

This, along with the personal development coursework was instru mental in my evolution on both a personal and professional level. Also, beyond the context of the business knowledge I gained, I learned that hospitality is more than an industry it is truly a mindset and this mentality now carries me through every aspect of my life.
