Paolo G. Sari
“I don’t think it’s relevant to decide what to do; open your heart and soul, loosen yourself up to future success, and provide your talent for a better world.”
Originally from Venice, Paolo G. Sari has been in the Hospitality industry for more than 35 years. After graduating in Hotel Management, he perfected his studies at Cambridge University. He achieved a Master's degree in Business Administration at The University of Cumbria, with a specialisation in Sustainable Finance and Marketing applied to the Tourist Industry
He performed in the most prestigious realities of the European, American, and Asian markets: Four Seasons, Peninsula, Kempinski, Morgans, Dorchester Collection, GHM and SBM, achieving a global knowledge of the hospitality industry.
Since the new Millennium, Paolo began to look at the hospitality industry under another lens: the respect of the environment and the creation of synergies to protect the local economy. Pragmatic in innovative changing processes and setting strategies facing the rapidly evolving markets, Paolo is attentive to the planet, people, profit, customer satisfaction, and the investment of shareholders. Confident in large operations and new openings, with the involvement of multi ethnic investments and management. Recognized for excellent interpersonal, communication, worldwide background, and problem solving expertise. Fluent in English, French, and Italian.
Organically certified since 2012, he has been for years the only Chef in the Globe with organic certification and Michelin star. In 2015 he created the major sustainable hospitality festival in Monaco: The Route du Goût, an opportunity for the public, organic producers, and the greatest hospitality's actors in Europe to meet and exchange.
Crucial partner with the Monaco Government and the Minister of Education for rethinking the educational programs for the hotel management school and the culinary offers for Monaco’s school canteens, and with the Prince Albert Foundation to develop sustainability and organic food approaches in the Principality of Monaco. Founder of the first organic hotel school, "Institut Hôtelier et Culinaire Biologique Moné et Paolo Sari".
Today, through a synergy of collaborations, Paolo Sari develops an idea of 'Blue-Hospitality' proposing a new form of tourism, aware of clients and environmental emergencies and promoting an ethical, responsible, and sustainable hospitality. Aware of losses caused to the community by exasperated globalisation regardless of people's history and culture, Paolo supports and highlights local economies and resources, driving establishments through organic certifications, training, and managing restaurants and hotels departments.
