I lead restaurant growth through hands-on kitchen operations and business management.
SwitzerlandWhat I'm looking for
At Alchimia in Zürich, I lead the company’s strategic and operational management, including business development, financial supervision, recruitment, staff training, marketing strategies, and brand growth.
I’ve built my hospitality career from Chef de Partie at Mad Fish in Italy through Sous Chef at Freihof by Debbie and Executive Sous Chef and Kitchen Chef roles at Fusio in Zürich. I create menus, manage food costs and inventory, maintain food-quality standards, train kitchen teams, and improve kitchen efficiency in high-volume service.
My hands-on chef experience and restaurateur background help me turn operational ideas and strategies into measurable business results across restaurant operations and multi-location management.
