Meet the team

Director of Food and Beverage Marco Riva

Marco Riva

Director of Food and Beverage
From a childhood frequenting the restaurants of Italy’s Lake Como to a career that evolved from the kitchens of New York, Shanghai, Bangkok and Jakarta into food and beverage operations in Japan and Korea, Marco Riva has long been immersed in fine food and wine. Inspired by his father’s local produce business and Mamma Riva’s “five-star” feasts, Chef Riva set off across the globe to further his skills. Almost three decades later, his insider’s eye and commitment to craftsmanship saw him climb the culinary ladder at Four Seasons Hotel Tokyo at Otemachi from Executive Chef to Director of Food and Beverage – a role he embraces with his passion for erstwhile glamour at Four Seasons Hotel Seoul.

“To achieve greatness, you need a solid base. Long-lasting success is built on consistency and doing simple things well.”

Jerome Deconinck

Executive Chef
Drawing on a career spanning seven countries across leading kitchens of Europe, Asia and the Middle East, Chef Jerome Deconinck is inspired by Korea’s exciting regional and seasonal cuisine. A native of Haute-Savoie – an area in the French Alps renowned for its fine food – his powerful mindset around the planetary importance of using seasonal products and local ingredients stems from childhood. Alongside a reverence for ingredients, his success lies in his intuitive focus on the customer experience; he is especially attuned to providing the best experience to each and every diner, and prizes meeting individual tastes and preferences over crafting a signature dish.

“I believe that the goal of cooking lies in paying equal attention to every moment of the experience, from the selection of ingredients to the details of service.”

Jimmy Boulay

Executive Pastry Chef
A master pâtissier and chocolatier, Executive Pastry Chef Jimmy Boulay’s curiosity for decadent desserts began in childhood at an exhibition of geometric artworks crafted from sugar. Transfixed by the delicate dance of cooking, art and science on display, he commenced his studies in pastry, chocolate and confectionery. Impressing even as a young graduate, his first role at world-famous luxury gastronomy company, Fauchon, was enough to entice him to learn more – and soon he was fully immersed in the vast scope of dessert artistry under some of the world’s most acclaimed culinary maestros.

“Central to my approach is the integration of a wide range of textures and flavors into each creation. When someone recognizes the creation of new textures, flavors and forms in each and every bite of my dessert, it perfectly makes my day.”

Odd Strandbakken

Head Bartender
Creatively inspired since he made his first mocktail at age nine, native Norwegian Odd Strandbakken began bartending in a tiny town deep in the Arctic Circle where there were more polar bears than people. Since then, he has travelled to 42 countries working at the world’s top bars; sampling the finest global blends; and furthering his insatiable passion for distillation and fermentation, brewing and preservation. With a style that’s uniquely his own, Strandbakken is on a mission to support local producers over global brands and ensure house-made products take centre stage. He’s dedicated to minimalism so expect clean cocktails with a worldly vision, paired with a good story.

“If you want your cocktails to reflect a local and unique terroir, you have to use local, high-quality ingredients and global culinary techniques.”

Alyssa Heidt

Beverage Creative Director
Alyssa Heidt’s enthusiasm for hospitality began in Chicago when she worked at cocktail bar The Violet Hour. Recognizing the parallelism between her own spirit of exploration and the creative discoveries afforded by the world of mixology, she travelled the globe to hone her skills. From Taiwan to Norway, she delivered her unique vision to bars including Michelin-starred Alinea, Next, The Aviary and The Office. Nominated twice for Norway’s Top Bartender and Best New Opening in Norway for Marlow by The Bartender’s Choice Awards, her award-winning talent finds its expression through tantalizing twists and fascinating flavour combinations at Four Seasons Hotel Seoul.

“I love drawing on the experiences of my global travels to conjure up creative beverages that tell their own unique story.”
