About

My Story

I began my culinary career with the Marriott chain of hotels. In 1995 I assumed a variety of roles ranging from production cook, kitchen leader, supervisor and head chef of banquet throughout his tenure. In December 1999, I was transferred to Marriott Hotel in Santiago, Chile as a Sous Chef. By 2000, I was promoted to Executive Sous Chef at both the Costa Do Sauipe Marriott Resort & Spa, and the Costa Do Sauipe Renaissance Resort in Bahia, Brazil…

I had the pleasure of working with Celso for almost five years. During that time Celso exhibited an ability and eagernes to provide the highest standard of cuisine that he was allowed.

His ability in meeting the personal culinary requests of our transient and group guests was highly commendable and we had many return clients because of it.

Celso is a hard working and decicated Exc. Chef, he is well versed in menu design for various restaurant concepts, from casual american to beach/pool and Italian speciality and maintained a great food cost throughout.

He actively particiapted in the local Food festival - Saborea - as La Vista and Tuscany's Restaurant Sponsor Chef and display kitchen Chef.

By actively participating in public relations initiatives, whether a live cooking demonstration on television or webcast to presiding over a dinner with media, Celso assisted the property in gaining meaningful exposure to our targeted market.

Above all, in my opinion, Celso's key attribute is his composure and nature when dealing with crisis and pressure. I would have no hesitation in recommending Celso to any prospective employer.

As my Food and Beverage Manager at the Guyana Marriott I enjoyed working with Mr. Pinto immensely.

He was a great role model with excellent managerial skills.

He ensured that we always met our goals and keep quality and food cost at the required standards. I have learned so much working with Mr. Pinto and I have no doubt that he has a lot to take to the table.

Celso is a highly dedicated and committed boss, who is fair, just and thorough.

Operationally, there's always a tip, here and there to pick up from Celso.

His professionalism, brevity and leadership are a few of many things that I learnt and try to inculcate into my dealings as a manager.
