"Garrett was a key member of the leadership team during a pivotal phase of etc.venues’ international expansion. He successfully built out and established the company in the US overseeing development and operations. Despite the challenges of Covid, Garrett opened three new venues. He also launched a new consulting vertical, partnering with leading NYC CRE developers to design and deliver innovative tenant amenity spaces. A dependable leader throughout a successful M&A with Convene, he consistently delivered exceptional results and comes highly recommended."

"I’ve known and worked with Garrett for many years. He Joined Azumi in 2013 and led the US for us in all aspects of development and operations. He oversaw the successful opening of Zuma flagship locations in NYC on Madison Ave, Las Vegas at The Cosmopolitan & Boston at The Four Seasons; spearheaded opening two Etaru’s in South Florida and was instrumental in the creation and opening of two of our first ever “Inko Nito’s” in Los Angeles. To this day, we still look to Garrett for his expertise and guidance in certain aspects of our US business"

"Having worked with Garrett for over a decade, I have consistently been impressed by his expertise and command of the hospitality industry. He combines sharp financial acumen with deep experience across operations, development, start-up buildouts, C-suite leadership, M&A activity, and end-to-end project management — always with a meticulous, detail-oriented approach. As a business owner, I genuinely value Garrett’s perspective; he brings clarity, structure, and strategic insight to every challenge. He is someone I trust to deliver and a talent I would welcome as part of any company’s senior leadership and strategic planning team."

"Garrett is one of the most intuitive, loyal, and dynamic hospitality leaders I have had the pleasure to work with. As Director of F&B at The Beverly Hilton, he played a pivotal role in transforming our food, beverage, and banquet operations during a landmark multi-million-dollar refurbishment and rebranding. He successfully reimagined every outlet while elevating service standards across a 570-room property and 55,000 square feet of conference and banquet space, including events on the scale of the Golden Globe Awards. Garrett inspired and led a team of over 700 colleagues through meaningful cultural change, combining operational rigor with financial discipline and genuine care for people. His experience, collaborative leadership style, and unwavering commitment to excellence make him an exceptional asset to any hospitality organization."
