SPEAKER BIOS
Alex Bujoreanu began his career in hospitality over 20 years ago while studying at the School of Hospitality and Tourism in Lleida, Spain. Alex later worked and ran several fine restaurants in Spain, Sweden, Italy, and finally, New York, where he received high praise for his tapas menu; the N.Y. Times declared it a “hands-down winner.” Alex shares his passion for healthy clean food through his dishes by not using butter, flour and only the finest quality and locally sourced ingredients.
Shannon Willey is the visionary behind Sea Green Designs, where the essence of coastal living meets eco-conscious elegance. Since launching her business in 2000, Shannon has skillfully blended her academic roots – a fusion of Fashion Design from FIT and Environmental Studies from SUNY Buffalo – to revolutionize the concept of home aesthetics. With an innate love for color and texture, and an expert eye for proportions, Shannon’s design philosophy is deeply influenced by the serene and timeless beauty of the coastal Hamptons.
Gianna Volpe is a passionate and award-winning writer, multi-platform reporter and host of “The Heart of The East End” on Long Island’s only local NPR radio station, WLIW-FM. She broadcasts LIVE from the WLIW-FM studio in Southampton 9-11 every weekday morning featuring music from all decades and genres, as well as interviews with folks from all walks of life, which were lauded by the New York Press Association twice-over in 2023. Encore episodes of The Heart air every midnight on 88.3 FM throughout the East End and Coastal Connecticut, 96.9 FM in Western Suffolk and are streamed/archived online at WLIW.org/radio.
Keith E. Davis opened the first Golden Pear on Mainstreet, Southampton in 1987, followed by East Hampton in 1991, and Bridgehampton in 1996. Keith learned the restaurant business through many years of experience that began at the age of 14 washing dishes and preparing food at a local seafood restaurant. During his college years, Keith worked four summer seasons at the famous Dune Deck Hotel located on the Atlantic Ocean in Westhampton Beach. There he refined his front-of-house skills and worked very closely with the chef. Keith learned off-premise-catering while working as a sous-chef at Barefoot Contessa, a beautiful gourmet food store-market-caterer, before an opportunity opened up for
Keith to take over the fabulous location on the corner we all now know as the Golden Pear Café Southampton.
Carmindy Bowyer is a New York-based editorial makeup artist, beauty/lifestyle expert, TV personality, author, speaker, and entrepreneur with over 30 years of experience in beauty.

Carmindy taught them how to see their unique beauty and stop any negative commentary going on in their heads. She showed that people of all ages, skin tones, and features had the right to love and celebrate themselves. Carmindy is currently working out of Water Mill, NY on her national projects.
