About Ugo Bataillard

When I left the tech world to start my entrepreneurial journey in the F&B space, figuring out what to build was not easy. But in the time I spent having countless conversations with F&B companies, we discovered a pressing problem. F&B companies struggle to succeed in new markets without the right approach. And very often, they rely on the wrong approach. setting up costly hard-to-staff subsidiaries using distributors without real sales capabilities or brand dedication hiring sales agents who rarely suit their growth needs The common (and most dangerous) part of these approaches? They do not allow the kind of on-the-ground commitment shown by the most successful F&B brands. But even when companies try to be more involved on-the-ground, they do not have what they need: local specialized F&B talent, hired flexibly without wasting time and money. “What about a freelance platform for F&B companies?” My software background helped me see how such a model could plug the lack of quality fractional hiring solutions for F&B companies in new markets. As CEO of GourmetPro, I began manually connecting brands with local F&B consultants in their target markets. Today, here’s why clients like Barilla and Lindt work with us: pre-vetted network of 150+ F&B consultants across 35+ countries stellar fractional hiring options local consultants offering both strategy and execution support all admin and project management is left to us Want to grow your F&B business in a new market with the right approach?
