Nick Murray

Nick is driven by a passion for building teams that take ownership of their work and deliver exceptional experiences, not only for guests but for one another. Guided by his personal motto, “the relentless pursuit of continuous improvement,” he applies this mindset to every aspect of his work.

As Vice President of Operations for Sage Restaurant Concepts, Nick brings a deep understanding of how hotels and food & beverage operations work together. A chef for most of his career and raised in the restaurant industry, he learned early on that food has the power to bring people together. Now, his focus extends beyond the kitchen—shaping concepts, cultivating talent, and fostering environments where teams can be their authentic selves at work, just as they are at home.

Nick’s expertise in hospitality finance allows him to bridge the gap between creativity and strategy, ensuring that every concept is both operationally sound and experientially rich. For him, the joy of hospitality comes from making others happy—whether by cooking their favorite meal or building the spaces where unforgettable experiences happen.

Outside of work, Nick is an athlete at heart, dedicating time to competitive sports, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, weightlifting, and endurance training. He’s also passionate about animal rescue, having housed and rehabilitated dogs before his travel schedule took him on the road. Whether in hospitality, sports, or rescue work, his focus remains the same: creating connections and making a lasting impact.
