From Beginnings to Success: The Career Story of Mark Fichtner
Marek Fichtner went through a hard way to achieve his dream - to become a chef in one of the most prestigious gastronomic establishments. He progressed from the lowest positions to the highest, requiring uncompromising diligence and endless hard work.
The beginnings of his career led to a large cruise ship, where managing a hundred-member chef team taught him not only discipline, but also had to be a leader and motivator. Thanks to his enormous talent and enthusiasm, he rose to the top of the gastronomic world, even preparing menus for members of the royal family in Saudi Arabia. He also worked his way up to the best restaurant in the world – Noma in Copenhagen.
