Morris Wilkes started his career in hospitality 15 years ago, working across hotels, island resorts and exclusive private clubs within every discipline of food & beverage, with strong expertise in the Caribbean. From opening club lounges and new restaurants to revitalizing existing dining establishments, implementing new programming and leading teams upwards of 300 people, Wilkes experience is extensive and varied. In the private club space, Wilkes worked as the Director of Food & Beverage at Bakers Bay Golf & Resort & Beach Club in The Bahamas, opening a new 150 seat restaurant and training an entirely new team, and most recently worked as the task force Director of Food & Beverage at The Ruby Club, a private club nestled within the gated community of Pleasanton, California,, where a big component of his role was creating exciting events for a younger generation - a component that is equally as important to The Abaco Club, who place a strong focus on unique programming and events.
