About the founder

Hospitality, made practical.

Gerard’s background is in luxury hospitality, butler service, guest care, and events. Dunefinch brings that service mindset to agreed home checks, arrival preparation, and practical concierge requests.

Originally from Tahiti, Gerard speaks English and French. Service is direct and founder-led: he reviews each request and personally confirms what can be done, when, and at what quoted price.
