With over twenty years of international experience in luxury hospitality, Gregory brings a wealth of knowledge and expertise to his new role. He previously served as the opening General Manager of the Four Seasons Hotel Rabat Kasr Al Bahr, where he successfully established the hotel in Morocco's capital.
Gregory's arrival in Mauritius represents both a fresh chapter in his distinguished career and a return to the island lifestyle he cherishes. His extensive history with Four Seasons spans locations such as Bora Bora, Bali, and Maui, where he cultivated a profound appreciation for the interplay between hospitality and the natural environment.

Collaborating with an exceptional team to create meaningful experiences that reflect the warmth, culture, and natural beauty of Mauritius is what drives my passion," Gregory shared enthusiastically.

His recent role in Rabat further solidified his reputation as a leader in luxury hospitality.
Emphasizing a people-first leadership philosophy, Gregory believes that exceptional guest experiences stem from empowered teams and authentic connections. In his new role, he aims to guide the resort through its next chapter following a significant seven-month overhaul that has transformed its all-pool villas and residence rentals, introduced innovative dining options, and enhanced OSEYAN Spa, the only overwater spa in Mauritius. He is committed to building upon the resort's unique identity while honoring the local hospitality culture and curating experiences that deepen guests' connections to the island and its vibrant traditions.
Gregory is not just a dedicated professional; he is also a devoted family man. An avid runner who enjoys football and tennis, he shares his passion for the ocean and marine life with his wife and two children. Together, they enjoy exploring new destinations, delving into various cultures, and savoring local cuisines, further enriching their family experience.
