Rita Vale has been appointed as Director of Food and Beverage at Four Seasons Resort Scottsdale at Troon North
Four Seasons Resort Scottsdale at Troon North announces the appointment of 14-year Four Seasons veteran Rita Vale as the new Director of Food and Beverage. Rita joins the property from Four Seasons Hotel Macao, where she most recently served as Assistant Director of Food and Beverage.
Born in Macao, China, Vale and her family moved to Portugal when she was 10 years old; she returned to her native country 10 years later to begin her career in hospitality, inspired by her parents' careers as restaurateurs. During her tenure at Four Seasons Hotel Macao, Vale held such roles as Room Service Manager, Chief Steward, Restaurant Manager, and most recently Assistant Director of Food and Beverage.
This quest for knowledge led Vale to her most recent endeavuor: she just completed her MBA at Nebrija University (Madrid, Spain), specializing in Business Administration in Hospitality. In Scottsdale, Vale looks forward to providing the best service in the Valley enhanced by inspired and creative cuisine.
While Vale herself is of Portuguese decent, she likes to consider herself a "citizen of the world." Her husband Silva is a Brazilian national whom she met in China; they are the proud parents of Ester (8 years old) and Nathan (5 years old), who both speak Portuguese, Cantonese and English. The family is thrilled with their move to Scottsdale, and anticipates many outdoor family adventures and time spent exploring the local culinary scene.
