Quick background
Haitham brings more than a decade of experience shaped by hospitality operations, entrepreneurship, and coaching, including time spent building restaurants and guiding teams. Originally from the Middle East, his journey has taken him across several countries before eventually bringing him to Salt Spring Island. With so many possible directions his life could have taken, arriving here feels especially meaningful.

He thrives in spaces where thoughtful systems, great people, and nourishing meals come together to create a sense of ease and connection.
