Jay DiPietro, CCM, President/COO/General Manager of Boca West Country Club in Boca Raton, Fla., has announced that current Assistant General Manager Matthew Linderman, CCM, will be promoted to General Manager effective October 1.
DiPietro will remain as President and COO for the next year and then as a consultant through 2022. DiPietro has served as General Manager of Boca West since 1985.
Linderman joined Boca West in 2005 as the Assistant Food and Beverage Director and quickly worked up the ranks as Food and Beverage Director, Club Manager and then Assistant General Manager starting on January 1, 2015. During his tenure, Linderman has worked closely with DiPietro, who selected Linderman as his predecessor.
“Matthew shares my philosophy of private country club management, delivering high quality service and a superior product to our members,” said DiPietro. “I have been grooming Matthew since he joined us more than 11 years ago and my recommendation of him as my predecessor was unanimously approved by the Boca West Country Club Board of Governors. He has vast experience in the hospitality arena, running food and beverage operations for five star hotels and iconic restaurants prior to joining our team and has broadened that experience tremendously in the last 11 years.”
Earlier in his career, Linderman served as the Director of Food and Beverage for the Four Seasons Hotel in Washington, D.C. and the Four Seasons Resort Palm Beach (Fla.). In addition, he assisted with the opening task force for several Four Seasons properties throughout the country.
“Mr. DiPietro is a legend in the country club industry and in our community and I’m honored and humbled to work along side him as we further elevate Boca West Country Club,” said Linderman. “We share the vision and values embedded into the service and management of the Club. I am thankful to him, the Boca West Board of Governors and members for their confidence in me.”
Linderman will begin his new position just prior to the opening of Boca West’s $50 million new Golf and Activities Center, slated for a December completion. The new center will include a restaurant gallery, porte-cochere, golf shop, activities ballroom, and locker rooms.
