Entrepreneur | Founder of Crumblebee – French Bakery | Hospitality & People-First Leader

About

I am an entrepreneur and hospitality professional with over a decade of experience in building people, systems, and guest experiences. As the Founder and Owner of Crumblebee, a French bakery, I am focused on creating a brand that stands for authenticity, quality, and memorable experiences. My vision is to blend classic French baking with modern presentation and strong brand identity, delivering products that customers don’t just consume—but remember. Before stepping into entrepreneurship, I spent several years in the hospitality industry as an HR leader, where I played a key role in shaping organizational culture, leading talent strategies, and driving operational excellence across reputed hotel properties. This foundation has been instrumental in building and scaling my own venture. I hold an MBA in Global Business from Coventry University, which complements my practical experience with strategic insight and a global perspective. I believe in continuous growth, strong leadership, and building ventures that create both value and experience.
