Stefan Cordiner

Stefan has spent the majority of his time outside his native Australia, living in Japan, Nigeria, the UK and now the Czech Republic. This has given him a unique sense of cultural understanding and business ethics. Stefan began his full-time career with Radisson Hotels (which later changed hands to Hajuku Hotels) while simultaneously studying full-time for his Bachelor degree in Hospitality Management. During his time at the hotel, Stefan's keen business sense and strong leadership skills helped him rise through the ranks and become the youngest manager on the team at their heritage-listed restaurant. Upon graduating from university with distinctions in Marketing, he left Australia to spend a year travelling throughout Europe.

Following his travels, Stefan moved to London, where he became Bar Manager of a bar in Soho. Six months later, circumstances led Stefan to join a small group of high-end bars and restaurants operating in the South Kensington area. Within six months of joining the group, he moved up to take on the position of Operations Manager and was involved in designing and executing a complete restructuring of the failing business. Within 12 months of assuming effective management control of the company, sales had improved nearly 135 percent, and the company was once again trading profitably with gross margins of 79 percent and pre-tax profits of over 20 percent. Despite being offered part ownership of the business as an incentive to stay, Stefan chose to leave the company and travel through South East Asia and Australia with his (then) fiancée. He has since gotten married and moved to Prague.

Stefan is now undertaking the next big challenge, heading up Myall Consulting's office in the Czech Republic, where he puts his business acumen to work helping companies thrive in that rapidly growing market.
