Independent Collection Appoints Tatiana Rosana as First-Ever Regional Director of Culinary
Independent Collection Hotels & Resorts, a leading hospitality brand known for its elevated food and beverage experiences, has appointed Chef Tatiana Rosana as its first Regional Director of Culinary. Known for her reimagined classic dishes and visionary approach both on television and in Boston kitchens, Rosana will enhance and innovate culinary operations across the brand's Northeast portfolio, setting new standards for hospitality dining.
"Chef Tatiana's unwavering commitment to excellence, a hallmark of her successful tenure with Independent Collection, supports our brand promise for delivering culinary excellence at our properties," said Matt Kerver, Senior Vice President of Food & Beverage. "Her rise through the ranks starting from Sous Chef at The Envoy Hotel and now to Regional Director of Culinary showcases her talent and leadership, making her the ideal regional leader for our New England culinary team."
Chef Tatiana shared her excitement for the role, stating, "I'm incredibly honored to take on this new challenge. Working as an extension of the regional food and beverage team, I'm excited to collaborate with our talented culinary leaders to achieve a shared vision for exceptional dining. My focus will be on guiding and training the hotel teams at each property to elevate our culinary offerings across the Northeast and beyond."
As a first-generation Cuban-American from Miami, Tatiana Rosana draws inspiration from her heritage and family's love of food. A Le Cordon Bleu graduate, she leads Para Maria at The Envoy Hotel, dedicated to her grandmother. Beyond The Envoy, she supports IC properties, contributes to industry conferences, and frequently appears on Bar Rescue, Good Morning America, and The Today Show. Her accolades include FSR Magazine's "Rising Stars of the Industry" and the MRA's "Manager of the Year" and "Innovative Restaurant Concept of the Year." A two-time Chopped champion, she has also competed on Beat Bobby Flay and Guy's Grocery Games. Still, her greatest joy is cooking at home with her wife and their four-year-old son, Arlo—an aspiring "chef" in his own right.
In her expanded role, Chef Tatiana will continue leading The Envoy Hotel's culinary program while also overseeing The Whitney, Sea Crest Beach Hotel, and The Boxer. Providing hands-on guidance in key food and beverage initiatives, she will ensure consistency and excellence across Independent Collection restaurants in Massachusetts and beyond. As an integral part of the IC and culinary leadership team, she will champion innovation among the Northeast teams, further elevating food and beverage offerings.
