Continuing my 10+1 stops down memory lane…
3 | FAST & FORTUNATE
America is fast and adventurous! So am I :) Here my love for cars, speed, and race found a new arena. I landed a limited-edition Camaro for its 45th anniversary, relishing every drive with its stick shift! Here's a nod to @Chris!
And just like that my passion for innovation and environmental stewardship, lead me to new exciting projects in the Formula E era! … stay tuned for updates!
Advise: embrace all that comes with an open mind and don’t hold back if the spirit of adventure will call you to explore a new field!
Fun Fact: With all my love for cool cars and fast rides I have so far stayed away from speeding ticket!

4 | EMBRACING ALTRUISM ACROSS THE POND
During my time in the U.S., I've passionately pursued a deeply ingrained goal: to make a positive and meaningful impact, however small, in various areas such as culture, mentorship, and social causes. My approach is to make a difference, even if one person at a time, valuing every contribution.
My first venture at Copia combined technology, innovation, and social good to address the critical issue of hunger by enhancing food recovery processes. This initiative was a blend of addressing scarcity with scalable solutions, aiming to help as many people as possible. I extend my heartfelt thanks to ★Komal Ahmad the Founder, Kimberly Trouville Smith the amazing CEO (You Rock!!), and the dedicated Team Copia for their relentless dedication and compassion in this mission.
Back in Dallas, initiatives like Café Momentum Momentum Advisory Collective and Bonton Farms are vital, proving the undeniable need for more empathetic, community-focused efforts. These local heroes demonstrate the effectiveness and necessity of community-driven projects, showcasing the real impact they can have.
During the pandemic challenging times, a positive development was the creation of GLEAM Network. This non-profit, volunteer-based organization emerged as a beacon during the Covid times, dedicated to advancing mentorship and leadership development in the restaurant and foodservice industry's underserved communities. It symbolizes the spirit of unity and support in an industry I have been proudly part of for over 25 years.
