Culinary company Welbilt has appointed Anthony Mauboussin as Marine Brand Ambassador.
He most recently spent eight years at Viking Cruises as Head of Culinary Operation & Development.
Having worked on board cruise ships for over 22 years, he has held Executive Chef roles with a range of operators including; Oceania Cruises, The World, and Azamara Club Cruises.
During his time at Viking Cruises, he worked closely with the Welbilt team from both a training and menu development angle.
Alexis Bourgault, the company’s Director of Global Strategic Accounts said: “Having Anthony as brand ambassador is a real coup for Welbilt. Anthony’s capability, network and overall knowledge will be a major advantage to the Welbilt Marine team and especially our customers, who will be able to draw on his wisdom and experience on their next venture. Having Anthony on board as an adviser on our journey is really exciting.
“Jean-Paul Roudier, Vice President, Sales & Marketing EMEA; Dave Weightman, Global Sales Director Marine & Hospitality, and myself, welcome Anthony to the team and look forward to working with him on many exciting projects,” he said.
Mauboussin (pictured), explained: “The marine sector is growing very quickly. Before COVID, it was a challenge to find the right people, since COVID it is even more so!
“The fact is, if an operator specifies the right equipment, it can immediately help with the labour shortage that we are experiencing.
“Being able to advise clients on equipment that can quickly assist them in the kitchen from both a culinary, as well as a human resources perspective, and being able to demonstrate how to make the most of that equipment is a real passion. I look forward to working with the entire Welbilt Marine team,” he said.
Welbilt’s Marine team work to train clients’ head chefs and their staff, to enable them to get the maximum use out of the equipment. With their global team of culinary chefs, Welbilt also works with customers to ensure they can deliver the perfect menu, consistently every time.
