We are delighted to announce that Marco Ciraulo has joined the School of Hospitality and Tourism Management as a Tutor in Hospitality Management. Marco’s hospitality education began in Germany where he completed his Culinary Apprenticeship and Vocational Culinary Masters. This led him to working his way through the ranks in Michelin-starred restaurants in Germany and hotel operations in Norway, winning gold medals in the culinary field along the way. He has completed executive management courses at EHL in Switzerland and at York University in Canada.  

 

After seven years spent working in management positions in the cruise industry with ECS Shipping and Cunard Line, Marco returned to academia, graduating from Oxford Brookes University with an MSc in International Hospitality and Tourism Management.  

Following his Masters, Marco joined Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts and spent eight years working within the group in Hawaii, Hampshire, Vancouver and Dublin as Director of Food and Beverage. During this time Marco was part of the pre- and post-opening teams for the new Four Seasons Hotel Hampshire and also launched the award-winning Yew Restaurant+Bar in Vancouver.

He has since worked as Hotel Manager in top London hotels and most recently as Hotel Director with Saga Shipping. He is well connected within the industry, working freelance as a consultant and mentor to many industry talents. His research interests are in the fields of new product development and organizational culture.
