The Journey
I am a high-performing Consultant Chef offering deep restaurant experience. My talent lies in building streamlined, cohesive teams and maintaining absolute focus and productivity in high-volume, fast-paced operations. From sourcing premium ingredients to controlling budgets and boosting restaurant profiles, I am dedicated to creating seamless, unforgettable dining experiences.
The Culinary Journey
My career has been defined by high-impact roles at industry-leading organizations such as Tim Hortons, where I honed my expertise in product development and operational excellence. I specialize in frozen food research and development, successfully formulating recipes and optimizing processing techniques to develop products with an extended 6-month shelf life, all while preserving uncompromising quality and food safety.
Beyond the research lab, I have extensive hands-on experience in industrial bakery manufacturing, overseeing high-volume production lines yielding over 100,000 breads daily. This scale of operation requires a meticulous approach to consistency, efficiency, and quality control throughout the entire production lifecycle.
Throughout my career, I have forged strong partnerships with premier global food ingredient and beverage solution brands, including Monin, NewTaste, DaVinci Gourmet, Chattha Foods, and Vista Processed Foods. These collaborations have driven forward product innovation, ingredient application, and commercial menu development.
My comprehensive understanding of retail and FMCG commercialization encompasses everything from ready-to-eat solutions to delivery-friendly packaging functionality. By integrating product development with manufacturing and operations, I create scalable, commercially successful food concepts tailored for cafés, QSRs, restaurants, and industrial food production.
