We are really excited to introduce one of our guest chefs, none other than Mr Steven Wallis, who many of you may remember as former winner of BBC’s Masterchef in 2007.

Steven Wallis is an internationally respected specialist in brand futures—whose trend insights and creative vision empowers his clients to harness the potential for growth in a rapidly-shifting global consumer landscape.

He currently works with a host of global luxury and FMCG brands across multiple industries. His incisive analysis is highly valued by his clients in the food, beverage, restaurant, hospitality, travel and FMCG sectors.

As a consultant semiotician, Steven has advised brands from Unilever, Nestlé, P&G, PepsiCo to Diageo, Sapporo and ABinBev. As Creative Strategy Director at an internationally renowned brand design agency, his mastery of foresight, cultural analysis and brand recoding consistently delivered unique and game-changing growth strategies for the brands in his portfolio.

World-class businesses including Harrods, Fortnum & Mason, LVMH, and Amazon relied upon his strategic insights of food culture and flavours as Group Head of Culinary Innovation at the UK’s biggest food manufacturer. In this demanding role, Steven helped shape the food experiences of millions by running entire recipe design chains for prestige and supermarket brands—overseeing the creative culinary process from defining white space opportunities, brand positioning and product development, to the briefing of factory production lines.

Steven’s multi-cultural background and passion for culinary culture led him to TV stardom. In 2007, he won BBC’s notoriously-gruelling Masterchef. Post winning, he continues to cook for private clients and charities across the world. He continues to return to the show every year to lend his incisive judging expertise and share his wealth of cross-industry knowledge.
