How I Work
Bio

With a career spanning 30 years, Denis’ trajectory in the food and beverage industry is defined by a persistent dedication to performance excellence and organizational transformation. Having operated at the strategic apex of several prominent companies, his expertise lies in driving sustainable development and pioneering innovative business practices. The result of his efforts has consistently been customer-centric growth, market expansion, and the successful introduction of brands into competitive landscapes.

Denis brings to the table a wealth of experience in strategic planning, marketing innovation, and business development, with a proven track record of steering companies towards greater profitability and market presence. On several occasions he was in charge of setting up local or regional sales & marketing operations (Paris, Hong-Kong & New York). His professional story is one of relentless pursuit of growth, strategic foresight, and the successful execution of complex transformations within the dynamic food and beverage sector.

Outside his consultancy work, Denis enjoys flying as a private pilot, activity which just as much requires detailed planning, careful execution, and permanent adjustment to the environment.
