New Team Members Project Positive Outlook for the Future
TYSONS, VA (PRWEB) February 25, 2015 -- This year the Sheraton Tysons Hotel is proud to welcome two exceptional individuals to the team. As Northern Virginia is evolving and growing rapidly, and will over the next decade, the Hotel is excited about the new team members who bring remarkable experience and success to the Sheraton Tysons Team.
With the recent change in the hotel name a mere eight months ago, the Sheraton Tysons team has been full steam ahead into the new year, working to continue the tradition of exceptional service, and a warm connected sense of community. By fine tuning procedures and continuing to focus on the guest experience, the Sheraton Tysons is looking forward to a prosperous future. The hotel is managed by Crescent Hotels & Resorts which operates over 100 hotels throughout North American, including 16 hotels in the Washington, DC area.
Uwe Roehricht – Director of Food & Beverage:
Armed with over twenty years of experience in various luxury city center and resort properties within the USA and Bermuda, Uwe Roehricht is the epitome of one who shows drive and dedication. Ready to take action, Roehricht has joined the team by hitting the ground running and is looking forward to enhancing Sheraton Tysons service excellence. New enhancements, such as the highly popular Valentine’s Day dinner, have already been manifesting success in the hotel’s restaurant, Brix and Ale. However, the restaurant is just the beginning of the reach of success for Roehricht, as the vast meeting space and top-notch F&B team has a long standing reputation for taking meetings and social events to the next level. To meet and exceed this reputation, he will use his own take on the common term “B2B,” which to him means “Back to Basics.” When asked for a phrase or motto that encapsulated the beliefs and ideals guiding him, Roehricht was quoted saying, “You can be a professional, but it’s the attitude that you bring to the job that generates success.”
Sam El-Sheikh – Executive Chef:
With the understanding of a diverse range of cuisines and a flare for the creative, Chef Sam El-Sheikh has come on board with impressive contributions of commitment and wisdom. An Executive Chef since 2004, and with extensive prior culinary experience, he is excited to join the Sheraton Tysons team and inspire innovative cuisine and new services. Chef El-Sheikh has honed his skills in a multitude of top locations such as the Four Seasons Hotel, Citronelle Restaurant, and studied under the tutelage of world-renowned chefs like Michel Richard, and Bank Szerenyi. Chef El-Sheikh’s attitude towards the food he prepares can be epitomized in his quote, “To have good relationships with people you really have to know them and their history. It’s the same with food.” Previously, he has been named one of the Washington DC area's "Top 50 Chefs" by Capital Cuisine Magazine and the Mid Atlantic Restaurant Digest.
