The son of Dennis Davidson, who ran Northern Bakeries in Kensington with his brother Tim, the young businessman was educated at Pompallier Catholic College before attending St Peter's private school in Cambridge.
From there, he travelled to the Swiss Hotel Management School in Montreux, Switzerland, where he got his Bachelor in Hospitality and Event Management.
He has interned at a variety of hotels across New Zealand and Switzerland and also worked as a guest services representative for SkyCity in Auckland.
He said he was just 12 years old when he first noticed how hospitality services could make people feel.
"My family travelled a lot when I was young - to Australia and Fiji. I think it was while in a Kid's Club in Fiji that it first hit me.
"Delivering a quality hospitality experience is almost an art form," he said.
