About Anthony Frunzi

Bilingual hospitality executive (English/Spanish), Corporate Director of Food & Beverage – Americas at Aman, with a Master’s in Hospitality Management from Cornell University and a Bachelor’s degree from The Culinary Institute of America. I bring more than 20 years of leadership experience across North, Central, and South America and the Caribbean within ultra-luxury hotels, branded residences, and private-equity-backed hospitality assets. My background includes oversight of hospitality portfolios exceeding $110M in combined revenues within private equity environments, alongside senior operational leadership roles within global luxury brands. I specialize in multi-property operations, asset performance, and strategic food and beverage leadership that strengthens brand positioning while consistently supporting Forbes Five-Star, Michelin Key, and Five Diamond service environments. My work spans concept development, culinary and beverage programming, operational systems, and pre-opening strategy designed to align guest experience with financial performance and long-term asset value. Known for building disciplined, high-performing teams and scalable operating standards, I approach hospitality through a design-forward lens influenced by the Ian Schrager philosophy of experiential luxury. I bring a strategic, market-driven perspective to portfolio growth, concept innovation, and operational excellence while protecting long-term brand equity.
