World Association of Chefs Societies - Paris, France

Worldchefs is a global organisation with 90 years of history that unites millions of chefs from over 100 countries. Over the last 10 years the organisation has transformed from being a volunteer based social network to a dynamic global voice of the culinary industry. In this period we have grown ten fold in terms of turnover and established a world headquarter in Paris now employing 6 persons and 150 volunteers worldwide. We launched new initiatives such as Feed the Planet, Worldchefs Without Borders, award winning Global Certification and Quality Culinary Recognised School label. Worldchefs Magazine and myChefspace community website. We already trained 50 persons from poverty into lively hood. Contributed to UN sustainability goals. Inspired chefs worldwide. Still my proudest moment is bringing worlds together and Worldchefs Congress and Global Chefs Challenge every two years in different parts of the world.
