Chef Jay honed his superlative skills across a range of high-end establishments, including Park Hyatt Busan, Park Hyatt Seoul, Hyatt Regency Hakone Japan and The Ritz Carlton Seoul. In 2015, Chef Jay joined Four Seasons Hotel Seoul as Executive Chef, later bringing his culinary vision to Four Seasons Resort Chiang Mai. Now, he looks forward to his new role at Four Seasons Hotel Shenzhen. His famous drive is an ideal match for the buzzing energy of one of China's most dynamic cities.

Inspired by the country's rich cultural and culinary heritage, Chef Jay is excited to build strong, respectful partnerships with local suppliers and producers. 

A collaborative approach also infuses his leadership style. By "fostering a team environment where ideas flourish and service remains consistently exceptional," he's committed to further elevating the hotel's culture of excellence and creativity. Innovation is key, both in terms of reflecting Four Seasons standards and exceeding the evolving expectations of global and local guests.

Chef Jay will be bringing his creative flair to the luxury hotel's renowned dining scene. Within the hotel's art-filled ambience, guests can explore a range of global flavours: Cantonese at elegant Zhuo Yue Xuan; innovative Japanese at Matsuyi; abundant all-day international and Asian at FOO, and light bites and cocktails at chic Yi Lounge.
