Vincent Nicol

Co-founder & CSO at GourmetPro

Leveraging 13 years of immersion and achievements in Japan’s food and beverage industry, I am committed to bridge serious industry players and deliver effective consulting solutions.

During the last 12 years, I constantly grew businesses, brands and people, unlocking Japan’s potential for global family-owned corporations: *Savencia*, world’s #4 cheese manufacturer and *Molson Coors*, world’s #5 brewer.

Leading brands portfolio of $20+ million of net sales, I successfully created new brands, new product ranges and new routes-to-market, engaging stakeholders and directly negotiating with factories, distributors and retailers.

Graduated from “Sciences Po” (French Institute of Political Sciences) with a Master’s degree in International Relations, I recently studied at INSEAD (Global #2 MBA) and currently enrolling at Nagoya Business School (Japan #1 Executive MBA). I am fluent in Japanese, obtained the Japanese-Language Proficiency Test N1 and the Business Japanese Proficiency Test. I am also a certified Sake Sommelier enjoying - responsibly - whisky, wine and beers.
