Director of Culinary Arts, Emirates Academy of Hospitality Management

His career has spanned hotels, banking, hospitality and teaching, but he still gets a great deal of satisfaction from transferring his knowledge and experience to young people who have chosen a culinary vocation. Over the past three years, Kitts has been instrumental in building a rapport with hotels, restaurants and other sectors of the hospitality industry and in setting up the inaugural EAHM Street Food Festival.
