Jayaram Dayanandan

Accomplished cleaning and hygiene professional with over 15 years of extensive experience in Stewarding arts, currently serving as Chief steward and Tentative hygiene manager at Baglioni Maldives. With over 15 years of hands-on experience in luxury hospitality environments across India, UAE, and Maldives, I specialize in stewarding operations, hygiene management, food safety compliance, and team supervision within internationally recognized 5-star properties. I have implemented cost-effective operational strategies, trained multi-national food handling staff in hygiene and safety protocols, and led numerous internal audits across kitchen and back-of-house operations including a 5% drop in food cost through better inventory systems.

I am now open to new challenges in global hospitality groups, where I can continue to apply my skills in hygiene, operations, and leadership to ensure guest satisfaction, quality assurance, and operational excellence at every level.
