About Franco S. Fugel
I am an accomplished culinary professional with a passion for leadership and entrepreneurship. With a Bachelor\'s degree in Food Business Management from The Culinary Institute of America and a Master of Science in Management from the Gies School of Business, I bring a wealth of knowledge to the culinary industry.
