“I used to cook for world leaders, the Royal Family and celebrities” This brings creativity and rhythm to my work. I like to share my knowledge through teaching and I’m a passionate drummer and conductor of Swiss Drumming. How did you come to work in the airline catering industry?Īirline catering is a highly complex but fascinating kitchen environment and I was hungry for the challenge. It takes a lot of dedication and hard work to become a good chef and one needs to be open for diversity. What do you think makes a successful chef? This experience drives and motivates me every day. After 35 years in the profession working in most fascinating places around the globe, I am still learning and exploring new ways to cook every day. I enjoy travelling and food and I like to work with talented people. I am also active in the education program of the Global Master Chef association. In 2004, I joined Gate Gourmet as Executive Chef at the Zurich unit. Prior starting my career at Gate Gourmet, I worked as an Executive Chef for Starwood Hotels and Resorts Europe, Hilton International APAC, and European properties with the Leading Hotels of the World group. Which are your most important career milestones?
