Tell us a bit about your professional career

My professional journey began during my apprenticeship under Mr. Claude Bourguignon, where my passion for pastry took root. Since then, I have worked diligently to master every technique, aiming for excellence and perfect harmony between flavors and textures. In 2003, I won the title of World Pastry Champion, followed by the title of one of the Best Craftsmen of France in 2007, both significant milestones in my career. Enriching my experience, I’ve worked in various settings, ranging from pastry shops to international training programs, as well as consultant positions. Currently, I serve as the executive pastry chef at two hotels within the Dorchester Collection Group: The Lana and Le Plaza Athénée.

What is your Philosophy/Motto?

My philosophy can be summed up as “always believe in your dreams.” Every challenge is an opportunity to excel, every obstacle a chance to grow. This deep conviction drives me to push my own limits with passion and determination in everything I undertake. I strongly encourage the new generation to believe in themselves and to persevere relentlessly.

What is your dream in life?

My dream is to continue what I am currently doing, cultivating an ever-intensifying passion each day. My aspiration is to inspire and share my passion for pastry with a wide audience, creating memorable moments through my creations. Additionally, I aim to contribute to the flourishing of this French culinary art and to the training of future pastry talents.

What are your current projects and plans?

The projects at The Lana, Dorchester Collection Hotel (Bonbon Café Angelo Musa and The Gallery) have just begun. Initially, my goal is to fully commit with my team to ensure the success of these two initiatives. Moreover, I aim to continue showcasing my expertise at the Plaza Athénée hotel in Paris. Looking ahead, I envision opening new boutiques, perhaps in the Middle East and elsewhere, so stay tuned…
