1. Michael Snow
Over the course of more than 20 years in hospitality management, I have worked across a diverse range of
related roles, from venue management to events and functions. I can demonstrate exceptional skills in
operational management, leadership of large teams and management of complex supply chains.
At Aurora Resorts, for example, I headed up a team of casual staff,mostly backpackers and developed strong
skills in buildinga consistentcultureof quality and service despite the high staff turnover that came with the
territory. I also managed theskillsin supply chain managementdeveloped duringmy time at Daydream Island
to ensure that we had sufficient stock on hand despite the remote location.
In my functions and events practice, I have also overseen scoping,serviceand delivery for largenumbers of
weddings and milestone parties, convening a complex range of vendors, suppliers and staff to delivery
memorable events of exceptional quality.
