Clémentine Venck, 36, is the managing director of Cocottes, a healthy, ready-to-eat food company that she joined ten years ago. A passionate restaurateur, she forged her career in Italy and New York before returning to Europe.

"What pleasantly surprised me in Luxembourg was the playground in catering and the number of restaurants and bars," confides Clémentine. After working in a number of traditional establishments, she found that Cocottes was the place for her, in line with her values. "The standards are really high, but we do it with a lot of generosity and passion".

For her, Cocottes' major asset lies in its balanced and innovative savoury meals, true to values such as sharing, equal opportunities and environmental commitment. "It's a human adventure. We started with fifteen people, and now we're 260, with almost 10% present for 10 years and 26% for more than five years", she stated.
