The human behind
Hospitality Dubai
Nice to meet you! My name is Carolien.
As a daughter of entrepreneurs in farming and hospitality I grew up at the root of hard work, dedication & hospitality. At the age of 14 I decided to pursue a career in high end hospitality and moved abroad by myself.
I immediately switched schools and started building my CV by working in my first Michelin star restaurant. Several degrees, a ton of experience and a career in high end hospitality in the Netherlands, Belgium, France and Malta followed. Even serving at the Belgian Royal House at the age of 17.
After gaining experience for more than half of my life in the high end hospitality industry & running several businesses with my mother, I founded my first own company in 2019, with success.
After working internationally with clients from the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany and Aruba it was time for the next step.
With a deep love, passion & dedication for hospitality, service, connection & experience I’m here to serve your business in the UAE. I can’t wait to help you uplift your business experience and boost your profit in all fields.
Cause if there’s one thing I became an expert at, it is in motivating & inspiring people, creating real connection, unforgettable experiences and build a b(l)ooming business with it.
All based on the the heart
of your company.
The people.
Cause no matter how beautiful your website is or how fancy the technology is that you work with, your people remain the core of your business.
And that’s exactly the strength or weakness in your business.
That’s where you stand out from the crowd, where you make the difference.
Cause all your competitors have a beautiful interior design and serve delicious food too. They also work with the newest technology, try to stay on top of mind etc.
What distinguishes you from your competitors is the heart of your business.
The people. They make the magic happen.
And that’s exactly what my expertise is.
According to ACG approximately 60% of restaurants in Dubai fail within the first year of operation and 80% fail within the first five years.
Those are heartbreaking numbers.
It’s time for change!
