Prior to forming the Altamarea Group, Ahmass Fakahany was the Global President & Chief Operating Officer of Merrill Lynch & Co. Ahmass Fakahany was an accomplished executive on Wall Street, where he was responsible for over 60,000 employees in 40 different countries. After 20 years, Ahmass was ready for change and decided to take on a new challenge: the hospitality and restaurant industry.
Altamarea Group was formed to organize and build a world-class team of culinary and business professionals. Led by Ahmass, Altamarea began its journey building distinct brands and different client experiences, all joined around top quality in a comfortable, convivial setting, regardless of the price point. His client centric focus turned the more traditional business model of a "kitchen view" to the client, and reversing it to the "client view" back to kitchen.
Ahmass Fakahany leverages his business acumen and global leadership experience to set the strategy and drive the highest level of quality, consistency and performance on every level throughout the Altamarea Group. He works hand-in-hand with the culinary and service teams to develop the concepts and brands and create the proper client experience at Altamarea.
