About
Michelin-trained chef with over 20 years of professional experience in high-end European kitchens, combining classical foundations with global techniques and a passion for all cuisines. I’ve completed three seasons as sole chef on a 43m charter yacht and a successful temporary contract on a 65m vessel, delivering guest-level dining and consistently varied, healthy meals for crew. I run a clean, efficient, well-organised galley and bring a calm, positive attitude even in high-pressure guest periods. Strong in menu development, international provisioning, dietary requirements, and maintaining top standards while adapting to changing itineraries. Fully certified and confident working independently or alongside a sous chef on larger programs
