A leader in the culinary world, Chef Linder brings extensive experience from his most recent positions as Chef de Cuisine and Executive Sous Chef for The Peninsula Manila, where he oversaw the kitchen operations with over 100 employees and successfully implemented a wellness food program with pure vegan cuisine in five dining outlets throughout the hotel. He also played an integral role in the reopening of the Old Manila restaurant.

He is fluent in German and English and enjoys exploring the city and spending his free time with his wife Jorgemm and son Liam. The Chefs plan to bring a global approach to the cooking at The Peninsula New York, while utilizing locally-sourced seasonal ingredients and the flavors of the Northeast. Chef Linder and his team will develop and introduce innovative menus across all dining outlets, inclusive of dishes tailored towards guests' special requirements and dietary needs. The two will also work hand-in-hand to personally oversee the revamp of Naturally Peninsula, a range of options available offering a choice of freshly prepared dishes that combined locally and sustainably sourced ingredients.
