A Little Bit About David Sude, GM of Ovolo Woolloomooloo

We sat down with the General Manager at Ovolo Woolloomooloo to get to know him a little bit better and learn about his journey. Find out more about what makes Ovolo Woolloomooloo Australia’s #1 hotel.

Tell us a little bit about your journey:

I guess you can say I began my hospitality journey in Europe. After leaving the island, I moved back to France for a year before moving to London to study. It’s where I started working in hotels. I loved it so much that even after getting my law degree, I decided to stick to hotels as a career. I have been lucky enough to work and live on 5 continents ever since and ended up in beautiful Sydney.

What’s the coolest thing about your job?

Definitely being with my team every day. They are the best bunch of people anyone can wish for and make my work so much easier. It is more like a family environment than a work environment. Also, working in the coolest hotel in the world (Ovolo Woolloomooloo).

Imagine you could step in a teleport for a day and go to any place and time in history. Where and when would you travel to?

I would go back to the start of the 1900’s in Paris. The Moulin Rouge era. Hang out with Lautrec and Hemingway.

What is your favourite hide out spot in the hotel?

For sure Girish, our Founder & CEO’s wine room at Woolloomooloo. It’s a little hidden room in the hotel with some amazing wines, some comfy chairs and a really nice mood lighting. I LOVE that room!

How would you describe the color green to a blind and deaf person?

I would make them touch, feel and smell grass. To me it is the definition of green.
