Bio
Lars J. Danneberg
I have known Tarana for the past 15 years and have had the pleasure of working with her at three unique properties. Tarana takes drive to be successful and dedication to the next level. I have watched her excel in luxury properties as well as high volume operations - both in international and domestic locations. I was particularly impressed by her project management and operational work during pre-openings. She has a keen eye for details and her leadership has earned her high employee engagement results. Tarana would be a tremendous asset to any organization.

I have seen Tarana grow her leadership skills in the hospitality industry through the years. Working with her in her early days in the industry one could see her eye for detail, ability to multi task and lead from the front and most importantly handle pressure while staying calm. Tarana is a results driven and focused leader having developed a strong knowledge all round knowledge of food & beverage operations in luxury environments.
