Aakash started his career in sales at a foodtech unicorn by working extensively with restaurants and selling technology solutions to them. With that experience and a keen sense of market trends, he founded and exited his first company, a ghost kitchen startup, where he led a team of 50 and increased his understanding of culinary and food service.
Damian kicked off his career by gaining analytical skills in the banking sector.
