Chavarría will lead culinary strategy and food and beverage innovation across Charlestowne’s growing portfolio, working closely with on‑property chefs, ownership groups, as well as development and project partners to create meaningful, market‑driven dining experiences that elevate both guest satisfaction and financial performance.
An accomplished chef and hospitality leader with more than two decades of international experience, Chavarría brings a global perspective shaped by roles across Latin America, the Caribbean, Asia, and the United States.
