Daniele Polito Joins Four Seasons Seoul as Boccalino’s Chef de Cuisine

The Four Seasons Hotel Seoul has appointed Daniele Polito as Chef de Cuisine at the hotel’s stylish Italian restaurant, Boccalino.

A seasoned chef with 20 years of industry experience, Daniele began his career in his hometown of Norcia, in the province of Perugia, before moving to the north of Italy to Varese and Verona where he worked in Michelin-star restaurants. Deniele's love for cooking comes from watching his grandparents cook farm-to-table for the family every weekend. Those early days inspired his own modern style based on those home-cooked Italian dishes. “I want our guests to leave happy, the tastes to be the same through all bites and the presentations as enjoyable for the eyes as for the mouth. The presentation will reflect the style of the restaurant – simple, colourful and almost playful, like the ingredients are in motion on the plate," Daniele said.

Dassault Aviation Appoints Charles Wemaëre as Vice President Worldwide Spares

Dassault Aviation has appointed Charles Wemaëre as Vice President, Worldwide Spares. Charles will be responsible for the spare parts strategy and logistics efforts for the global Falcon fleet, and will report to Pierre Thielin, VP, Worldwide Customer Service, within Dassault’s Civil Aviation Department.

Charles previously served as Deputy Manager to Serge Elias, the former VP Worldwide Spares, who is retiring. Following an extensive career in the automotive industry, Charles joined Dassault Aviation in 2011 as a Sales Director responsible for spare parts in Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Asia. He was instrumental in moves to regroup all Falcon spares resources in a new facility in Bordeaux-Mérignac, and to build a vast state-of-the-art distribution center in Tremblay, near Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport, enhancing spare parts delivery and efficiency throughout the Dassault Aviation worldwide network. Charles holds an engineering degree from the Institut Polytechnique de Grenoble. His passions include cabinet making and apiculture. “Perfecting spares distribution is a central element in our quest to ensure a uniform standard of excellence in worldwide customer support, and was critical in our recent recognition by Aviation International News and Professional Pilot as the industry’s top service provider,” said Jean Kayanakis, Senior Vice President, Worldwide Falcon Customer Service & Service Center Network. “I am confident that Charles’ dynamic approach, attention to detail and proficiency in dealing with challenging tasks will enable us to continue to improve and remain number one in this essential activity.” The Falcon Spares group represents a network of 250 people around the globe and includes 16 facilities with an inventory of more than US$900 million in parts.
