Michael Sartori has nearly 40 years of experience in hospitality, marketing, business, and transatlantic relations. A native of Ticino, Switzerland, he was General Manager of the iconic Hotel Eden Roc in Ascona before relocating to Los Angeles, where he oversaw the revitalization of the historic Sunset Tower Hotel and other high-profile properties in the U.S. and the Grenadines. He served on the Board of Directors of the Swiss-American Chamber of Commerce and continues to foster Swiss-German-American cultural and economic ties, a tradition begun by the Sartori family, maritime leaders since 1858. A long-time advocate for charitable causes, he has supported initiatives in historic preservation, reintegration of the formerly homeless, LGBTQ+ rights, and AIDS/HIV awareness. He also dedicated five years to educating children in technology literacy. One of his most recent projects, Casa Monte Tabor, honors the legacy of Erich Maria Remarque and Paulette Goddard.
