VENTURES

Some ideas demand their own company.

A different way to shop for food. Mediterranean flavors with international ambition. A space where cooking brings people together.

My entrepreneurial story runs through all three—with a willingness to question the familiar and get deeply involved in what comes next.

FOOD & BRAND BUILDING

Delicious & Sons

Mediterranean soul. Global Ambition. Creating a better world.

A B Corp food brand connecting flavor, positive impact, healthy organic ingredients, and the everyday pleasure of eating well.

As COO, I led the operations behind the ambition—from product development and supply chains to international distribution and market expansion.

RETAIL & DISCOVERY

Delishop

Good food, discovered differently.

Specialty shops, original products, and culinary experiences that made exploring food part of everyday life.

I led a team of more than 70 across eight stores, connecting commercial vision with the daily demands of a growing retail business.

SPORTS & EVENTS

Big moments.
Every detail counts.

The energy of a full arena. The anticipation before the doors open. I know what it takes behind the scenes to make those moments happen.

INTERNATIONAL SPORT

As Director of Operations at Euroleague Basketball, I helped deliver flagship events including the Final Four and led the launch of the ULEB Cup, bringing together 32 clubs across 16 countries. International teams, major venues, demanding schedules—every detail had to work together.

EVENTS & EXPERIENCES

That experience carries through to corporate gatherings, culinary events, and brand experiences. From budgets and production to logistics, hospitality, and partner coordination, I connect the moving parts with the experience people came for.

FOOD & CULINARY

A chef’s instinct.
An appetite for discovery.

Food is where my curiosity becomes something you can taste.

Rooted in healthy, plant-based Mediterranean cooking, my work moves between the kitchen, product creation, and experiences around the table.

Ingredients come first, but food takes on another meaning when we share it - bringing people together and connecting cultures.

IN THE KITCHEN

Follow the flavor.

Seasonal ingredients. Mediterranean roots. Taste is everything. From the simplest culinary staples to avant-garde techniques and new kitchen technologies, I explore what each ingredient can become.

BEYOND THE KITCHEN

Give an idea a life of its own.

From a first recipe to a finished food product, I combine a chef’s palate with an entrepreneur’s perspective—bringing culinary innovation and operational excellence to every stage of development.

AROUND THE TABLE

Make food the occasion.

Private dining, cooking workshops, live cooking demonstrations, and media appearances. Bringing food to life around the table, in front of an audience, or on camera.

Have something delicious in mind?
