About

Hi, I’m Xavier Castellano, a hotel management professional with over 35 years of experience leading operations and teams in 4- and 5-star hotels across Spain and Ireland. I specialize in transforming hospitality and event services into profitable and memorable experiences, using a digital-forward approach to add value across tourism, retail, and service sectors.

I pride myself on building high-performing teams of up to 30 people, optimizing operations to reduce service times and boost guest satisfaction, and driving up revenue through up-selling at premium events. My cross-functional background in hospitality and events, combined with AI and data-driven decision-making, helps me craft innovative, future-ready solutions.
