Leonardo Sturgeon

Dear Hiring Team,

I hope this message finds you well. My name is Leonardo Sturgeon, and I am eager to express my interest in joining an international hotel group within the Western Cape, Cape Town, with the ambition to eventually gain experience abroad.

I hold a Diploma in Events Management from The Private Hotel School in Stellenbosch, and a BCom in Entrepreneurship from Varsity College. My career began in the vibrant hospitality and events industry, where I had the privilege of working with some of Cape Town’s leading event agencies. During this time, I contributed to high-profile events such as the Federer vs. Nadal Match in Africa and the Hong Kong Cape Town Rugby Sevens.

Currently, I am employed as a Client Success Executive at Houst, a premier short-term and mid-term lettings company in Europe. In this role, I manage a portfolio of high-end homeowners, ensuring exceptional service and consistently meeting key performance indicators. My background in hospitality and event management, combined with my entrepreneurial education, has equipped me with a unique blend of creative and strategic thinking skills. These skills enable me to excel in dynamic and challenging environments, making me confident in my ability to contribute meaningfully to your organization.

My achievements include being the President of the Student Representative Council at The Private Hotel School and receiving awards such as the #1 Cocktail Maker in Western Cape by The One&Only Hotel Group and the top position in Economics at Varsity College, Cape Town.

I am passionate about the hospitality industry and am committed to delivering excellence in every role I undertake. My ambition is to grow within an international hotel group in South Africa, starting in Cape Town, and to eventually gain international experience through opportunities abroad.

Thank you for considering my application. I am excited about the possibility of contributing to your team and would be delighted to discuss how my skills and experiences align with the needs of your organization.

Warm regards,
Leonardo Sturgeon
