Elnara Tagieva

Assistant General Manager

Elnara serves as the Assistant General Manager at Barbouzard, where she brings a refined, global perspective to hospitality leadership.

Born into a family of restaurateurs, her journey began at the age of seven when her family relocated to Moscow, Russia, where her father opened a series of restaurants. Immersed in the industry from a young age, hospitality was imprinted early, yet her professional path initially led elsewhere.

After earning a degree in Business Administration, she moved to Los Angeles to pursue a career in marketing. There, she built and led departments within boutique firms, gaining deep operational and strategic insight. However, it was her innate passion for service and experience-driven environments that eventually pulled her back toward hospitality.

She pivoted into the role of Events Manager at NeueHouse in Hollywood, where she oversaw high-profile events for some of the entertainment industry’s most prominent figures. The role sharpened her ability to operate with poise under pressure and instilled a deep appreciation for elevated, detail-oriented service.

She went on to help launch Crawford’s Social in Calabasas, California, where she played a foundational role in concept development, team building, and operational leadership, helping the restaurant reach $10 million in annual revenue.

Now based in Washington, D.C., she leads Barbouzard’s hospitality program with a focus on excellence, culture, and guest experience, bringing together her creative roots, operational expertise, and lifelong connection to the world of restaurants.
