Skander Ayari has been appointed as F&B manager at Four Seasons Hotel Kuwait at Burj Alshaya

Ayari has worked in several properties across the world including — Shangri-La Mauritius; Radisson Blu and Park Inn by Radisson Yas Island; Royal Méridien Abu Dhabi; Le Méridien Etoile Paris; Hotel Concorde Lafayette, Paris; Hilton, Paris; Hyatt, Paris.

Born and raised in Tunisia, Ayaru was always curious about new cultures, "That's really what drew me in. Gastronomy brings all cultures together. When we host in Mediterranean and Arabic cultures, we do it around the table. And when you travel, it's the common ground," he said.

Ayari moved to Europe to study hospitality and then moved to Paris to work in the F&B industry. He later moved to Abu Dhabi and Mauritius to take up management roles.
