What do luxury kitchens, global events, and linen-less tables have in common?
In this episode, Steve Carran and David Millili sit down with Andrew Moffett, Chief Brand Officer at Southern Aluminum, for a conversation full of passion, innovation, and a few surprises—like a deep dive into linen-less tables.
Andrew takes us on his unique journey from the kitchens of the Four Seasons to the boardrooms of hospitality's top innovators. With a background in culinary arts and years of experience leading global events for Marriott, Andrew shares how he’s now redefining meeting and event spaces through design, culture, and collaboration.

- How a chef’s mindset influences brand strategy and leadership
- Why linen-less tables are a game-changer for hotels and events
- The power of designing experiences (not just furniture)
