8 GENERAL MANAGER MARC ELLERT-BECK General Manager Marc Ellert-Beck brings a world of hospitality expertise to his role at Henry at Life Hotel. Prior to Henry, Marc was the General Manager of Aspen Kitchen and Grotto Aspen where he spent two years connecting with the community. Marc joined Craveable Hospitality at David Burke Fabrik at the Archer Hotel. His years spent collecting culinary and cultural influences inform Marc s inspirations in creating the lush, whimsical, and intimate restaurant setting. Marc believes in approaching everything from the guest s perspective, as he strives to make their experience personal, incomparable, and above all: craveable. It all begins with the team; by always treating them like guests, I empower my team to be a part of that process. Though born in Silver Spring, MD, Marc grew up across the globe, among cities in Austria, Indonesia, and the Dominican Republic. Thanks to his father a USAID diplomat and entertainer at heart Marc spent his youth widening his worldview. Diplomacy, to me, is similar to hospitality, Ellert-Beck says. It all revolves around the ways we represent ourselves, interact with other people, and tune into different cultures. Subsequently, he speaks English, Spanish, French, and Indonesian. In 2001, the young professional made a permanent move to New York City, where he spent more than a decade expanding his repertoire at various downtown hotels and restaurants such as Jimmy s Downtown, Eatery Restaurant, and Gansevoort Park Hotel. In his most recent prior role as general manager of Il Buco, Marc helped the iconic venue earn a place among Zagat s 50 Best Restaurants in NYC in 2015.
