Talented team of hospitality experts join forces to launch Kinsfolk & Co.

Launching in May 2023, Kinsfolk & Co is a new international hospitality management company, delivering sustainable returns for people, for place and for our investors. It was this purpose that led Kinsfolk & Co to choosing Society, a certified B Corp company, as their executive search partner.

Heymo Nyoni, Chief Financial Officer, who most recently worked for Standard International, and Stas Anastasiades, Restaurants & Innovations Director, who is a well-known and respected hospitality figure having worked for Milsom Hotels and Restaurants for 20 years.

Working with Paul Brackley, Founder and CEO, Society were tasked with finding a senior leadership team befitting of a new innovative hospitality management company and with a wealth and diversity of background and skill set. The leadership team has been made up of key industry professionals who have had extensive experience within the luxury hospitality sector both within the UK and internationally and who are renowned for creating excellent places to work and for providing exceptional guest experiences.

Paul Brackley states:

“We are incredibly fortunate to start a completely fresh company, where we can build a community with a shared vision – be that with our team, our partners, or our investors. We believe in the power of hospitality, working together within our wider industry’.
