Prior to his appointment as General Manager in December 2014, Gannon was the Resort Manager at Four Seasons Resort Nevis. Before transferring to Nevis in June 2014, Gannon spent two years as the Hotel Manager at Four Seasons Hotel Austin. Prior to the Austin post, he was hotel manager at Rosewood’s Sand Hill property in Menlo Park, California. No stranger to island life, Gannon spent eight years working in exotic settings ranging from Rosewood Hotels and Resorts’ Jumby Bay, Antigua, to Caneel Bay, St. John, USVI, in the Caribbean. Gannon also served as resort manager for four years at Martha’s Vineyard’s Winnetu Oceanside Resort.
Different from many General Managers of the past, Gannon carved out his own career path from the kitchen to the executive office. Prior to his General Manager and Hotel/Resort Manager status, Gannon was executive chef at a variety of luxury properties and catering operations throughout Massachusetts, including Four Seasons Hotel Boston (1997-2003); The Catered Affair in Hingham (1996-1997) and The White Barn Inn in Kennebunkport, Maine (1989-1992). During his three-year tenure as executive chef at The White Barn Inn, the hotel’s dining room attained AAA Five-Diamond status for the first time in its history.
Born in Miami, but a self proclaimed Tri-State native, Gannon earned his college degree at Johnson and Wales University in Providence, Rhode Island. In his free time, he enjoys running, golf, taking part in a variety of watersports and playing the guitar. Gannon and his wife of eighteen years, Michelle, a former hospitality manager herself, live on Nevis with their two dogs, Rika and Pappi.
