With three decades of leadership experience across both the hospitality and healthcare sectors, Sergio Alonso brings a strong work ethic, dependability, and a commitment to excellence to every role I undertake. Throughout my career, Sergio has thrived in environments that foster collaboration, adaptability, and continuous improvement, consistently driving positive outcomes for both teams and organizations.

My journey into healthcare was a natural progression from the restaurant industry, where his passion for the culinary arts led to the transformation of a modest 100-square-foot space into a thriving, scratch-made Bistro. This initiative quadrupled sales and became a standout for both staff and guest dining, demonstrating my ability to apply creativity and leadership in dynamic environments. This experience laid the foundation for his current role, where he strives to elevate both patient care and the quality of café operations.

As Director of Food and Nutrition for one of Southwest Florida’s largest hospital systems, Sergio oversee operations for Golisano Children’s Hospital and HealthPark Medical Center. In addition, he leads six café locations, third-party vendors, and physician lounges, ensuring that all teams align with regulatory, quality, safety, and financial standards to enhance patient experience and drive operational excellence.

Throughout my career, Sergio has been honored with multiple awards, including Key Contributor, Spirit and High Reliability Awards, and the AHF Presidential Service Award. In 2024, he was recognized among the top 5% of leaders for Excellence in Engagement. Sergio’s previous 30 years in hospitality have earned me numerous culinary accolades, including the Taste of the Town Award and recognition for Best Dish by Gulf Coast Magazine.
