Miami didn’t become a global nightlife and hospitality capital by accident and David Grutman is one of the key names behind that transformation.
In Boardroom’s latest Cover Story, the Groot Hospitality founder opens up about the mindset behind LIV, Komodo, Papi Steak, Gekkō, Casadonna, and the empire he built by treating business as something deeply personal.
For Grutman, relationships are not just part of the game they are the real currency. From long-term trust with talent, athletes, entrepreneurs, and global icons to his obsession with detail, competition, and consistency, his biggest advantage has been simple: he cares more.
The story also dives into his new book Take It Personal, inspired by the life and business lessons he shared while teaching at FIU, as well as what comes next for Groot Hospitality hotels, members clubs, consumer brands, and the future of Miami as a global hospitality powerhouse.
David Grutman is not just building restaurants and nightclubs.
He is helping define the next chapter of Miami.
