Chris Pulito

Shou Sugi Ban House, the Hamptons' first destination spa and wellness retreat, today announced the appointment of Chris Pulito as General Manager of the acclaimed wellness property. Pulito officially stepped into the newly created role last month, in advance of the Hamptons' peak summer season.

With nearly three decades of extensive hospitality experience, Pulito will be responsible for managing all day-to-day operations for the luxury wellness resort, including the world-class culinary program designed by Michelin-starred chef Mads Refslund, as well as the management of Shou Sugi Ban Spa, and two standalone luxury residences.

Pulito's impressive career in spa and hospitality spans key executive roles in operations, programming, spa and wellness, and food and beverage, always with a focus on ensuring unique, seamless luxury experiences for guests, while synergistically employing his financial acumen to grow the business and increase revenue. Prior to joining Shou Sugi Ban House, Pulito most recently served as the General Manager of The Lake House on Canandaigua, and previously held that same title at Mirbeau Inn & Spa, and Whiteface Lodge; as well serving as Spa Director at The Four Seasons Hotel New York City, Stoweflake Mountain Resort & Spa, and Topnotch Resort & Spa, over the years.

Last month, Co-founder Amy Cherry-Abitbol stepped back as CEO of Shou Sugi Ban House and sold her interest in the business back to her co-founding partner, Kathleen Kapnick.
