Founder & CEO at GourmetPro
Tokyo, Japan
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolUgo Bataillard is a founder and CEO with 11 years of tech and product leadership who built GourmetPro to solve go-to-market failures for food & beverage brands expanding internationally. He combines a software engineering background with hands-on startup experience—having led product and engineering teams, co-founded multiple startups, and shipped rapid prototypes—to design a marketplace that connects brands with 150+ pre-vetted F&B consultants across 35+ countries. Based in Tokyo, he mentors FoodTech and market-entry startups across APAC and has run regional food ecosystem programs for the Founder Institute and Big Idea Ventures. Ugo’s approach blends strategy and execution: his network provides fractional local talent that fills the commitment gap left by costly subsidiaries or disconnected distributors. He’s comfortable turning technical constraints into scalable, low-cost platforms (e.g., serverless architectures and lean product roadmaps) and prefers solving customer problems through curated human networks rather than generic marketplaces. His rare mix of deep product craft, cross-cultural market knowledge, and domain-specific recruiter instincts is what draws enterprise brands like Barilla and Lindt to work with GourmetPro.
