Zaharia Takes Helm at CuisinArt
ANGUILLA, August 25, 2005. The CuisinArt Resort & Spa, Anguilla, will open its season on October 31, 2005 with a new leader and dedicated team player. Mr. Stephane Zaharia brings extensive hands-on experience to his position as the resort's General Manager, and a firm belief that success lies in teamwork.
Zaharia began his career in the hospitality business with the Hyatt Corporation, quickly working his way up the management ladder at the company's U.S. properties. Learning the business from the ground up has given CuisinArt's new general manager valuable experience with operations, purchasing and inventory, and a solid knowledge of the overall workings of a major hotel.
In 2001, Hyatt moved Zaharia to their resort and casino property in Aruba, West Indies. As Director of Rooms, he oversaw and developed strong relationships among multiple divisions within the hotel. In 2003, Mr. Zaharia moved to Ian Shrager Hotels as Hotel Manager of the Sanderson in London. There he developed and monitored all hotel operations, and mentored department heads to help him train staff and roll out the service-oriented philosophy he plans to bring to CuisinArt.
Zaharia came to the Caribbean in 2004, serving as Resort Manager at the Carlisle Bay in Antigua, and successfully leading its challenging post-opening period before accepting the position at CuisinArt.
Mr. Zaharia's forte is resort operations and, as General Manager of CuisinArt Resort & Spa, he plans to use his experience and strong leadership skills to create an environment where quality delivery and individual guest contact continue to excel.
