Most recently, Bart was closely involved in the opening of a new luxury hotel property where his guidance across service culture, food and beverage strategy, and guest experience contributed to international recognition at the highest level, including two Michelin Keys and a global nomination for best new hotel opening within six months of launch.

Dufour Advisory was established as a natural evolution of this experience offering independent, discreet, and senior-level advisory to owners and investors who require clarity, judgment, and calm authority rather than volume consulting.
