Constance Desousa, Sous Chef, St. Regis San Francisco
Constantly setting the bar high, leading with passion and determination, Connie has consistently demonstrated the ability to deliver the uncompromising Five Star food and beverage service she helped establish at the St. Regis San Francisco. She helped create and implement the Five Star culinary training manual that is now Standard Operating Procedure for all new-build luxury hotel projects in Starwood. Connie’s superior performance reviews brought her the coveted St. Regis Uncompromising Service Award in June, 2007. Her international training and work experience in Germany at the 5 Diamond Excelsior Hotel Ernst’s Michelin star restaurant, as Canada’s representative at the Culinary Olympics and placing 3rd overall at the Chain de Rotisserie’s World Competition in South Africa were steps to her journey to placing the St. Regis San Francisco on the culinary map of San Francisco.
