Summary

I would like to introduce myself; my name is Giovanni Pistuddi and I started as a Pastry Chef with more than nineteen years of experience between Italy and England. I worked several years for The Hummingbird Bakery, Whole Food Market and Buns from Home, where in the last two years I was in charge as Assistant manager and material planner, where I supervised two kitchens with more than ten team members and successfully doubled production volume due to our stores growing from six to fifteen within a year, implementing the kitchen production over 30% in a year.
