Most recently as the General Manager of the Viceroy Anguilla, David was a key player in opening and operating of this $550 million flagship property. His efforts here were recognized when he won the coveted title of ‘Hotelier of the Year 2012’ at the Anguilla Hotel and Tourism Associations (AHTA) Annual Tourism Gala in December 2012. David also managed the historic Viceroy Palm Springs in California, traveling regularly between the two destinations. David later transitioned from his post in Anguilla and Palm Springs to oversee the 2009 opening of the Viceroy Snowmass, a $200 million ski-in, ski-out facility that he guided through an on-time, under budget launch. Additionally, David has served as the Food and Beverage Director at Rosewood Hotel’s and Resort’s Little Dix Bay on Virgin Gorda in the British Virgin Islands, as well as General Manager of several distinct luxury New England properties including the famed Chatham Bars Inn on Cape Cod, Massachusetts, and The Chanler at Cliffwalk in Newport, Rhode Island.
