A dynamic professional having extensive experience and excellent background in business sales management, hospitality management, property overseer, operations, and more than proven excellence in the exquisite markets of San Francisco and Los Angeles. A motivator, trainer and mentor dedicated in sustainable quality results and improvement. Excellent qualifications in planning, staffing, training and quality management.

Meeting challenges, managing changes, and making a positive difference have become my day to day routine. Early in my career I established myself as a top sales producer at an auto dealership and moved on to staging entertainments events and then to managing fundraising sales. My ability to motivate sales teams accounted for much of my success. Soon after, in addition to concentrating on sales tactics and pricing policies, I expanded to advising businesses to improve their strategies and operations in cross-functional team environments. My 12+ years of sales ability, presentation skills, focus on meeting goals, and ability to draw inspired performances from sales teams have propelled my achievements.

At Audio SF I have maximized revenue levels and can take credit for our outstanding guest ratings. When the venue was open, I managed all aspects of the floor functions including security. My quick response to any variation in our high standards of service kept our operations efficient. As a member of the senior management team, I recommended policies and strategies that improved revenue while reducing costs.

As the General Manager at Temple nightclub, I evaluated operating and revenue performance, closely followed by instituting changes that increased revenue and improved operations within 3 weeks of taking over.

Everyday I invest in developing new skills and obtaining the resources I need to be successful. And with each goal I set my confidence drives me towards reaching new heights of success.

*Currently open to new career opportunities.

6 people have recommended Max

“I first had the pleasure of meeting Max when he was the VIP Director at Audio Discotech, a new nightclub in San Francisco. I had a group with me and were interested in getting a VIP booth for their opening weekend. We had gotten a limo for the night and as soon as we pull up Max was the first person to greet us, shake our hands, welcome us to the establishment, and personally show us to our table. Max is courteous, professional, prompt, and always delivers what he promises. This is the one man in the entertainment industry who is there to make sure the patrons are enjoying their night to fullest and that everything is going according to plan. To this day (any many countless VIP booths later) I’ve still never had a better experience than that time at Audio. Any organization who is lucky enough to have Max on their roster deserves my business and I’d be happy to give it. “
