““I believe that beyond the technical skills, FMSS’ people added some two ingredients that made the difference: Passion and Teamwork. The former made us feel as we were sharing the same commitment, the latter facilitated us in managing a very complex, very professional network of people ranging from great chefs to extraordinary marketing experts.””
