    Biography

    After 19 years at Welbilt, holding different positions in various countries, I have built a very practical vision of how our sector works and evolves. We are obsessed with process automation because we believe it is the foundation for gaining efficiency and freeing people from tasks that don’t add value. We see foodservice as a sector with tremendous room for improvement, constantly evolving. And we have a very clear motto: we want to make it more friendly and more human, because only then can we attract and retain talent.

    2026-03-25 17:45 2026-03-25 18:25 Europe/Madrid The kitchen no longer just cooks: it produces, scales, and decides.

    The professional kitchen is undergoing one of the most profound shifts in the industry: it has moved from being an operational space to becoming a strategic production center, shaped by new workflows, equipment, timing, sales channels, and demands for efficiency. This panel brings together expert perspectives to interpret how this transformation impacts profitability, relationships with suppliers, and the design of kitchens adapted to the new hospitality landscape. An editorial-style debate about the “backstage” that today determines the success of the business.
