We qualify Culinary executive search candidates for growth agility and cross-functional compatibility, taking a holistic view of your organization’s needs for growth and leadership.

A culinary leader must have not only a passion for food, but also a passion for innovation and driving growth. They should have the skills to practically communicate their technical knowledge to other professionals and work cross-functionally on new product development, go-to-market strategies, and customer service. In CPG, business acumen with understanding of ingredient sourcing and margins is helpful, while in foodservice, menu design as well as systems training are particularly useful. Overall, a senior and executive level Culinary candidate must have a deep understanding of consumer demographics and execution of a brand’s mission.
