Simon Zatyrka

President - The Culinary Mechanic

Simon Zatyrka is a chef and founder of Culinary Mechanic, where he helps chefs and restaurant owners build teams that don't fall apart the moment they leave the building.

After 33+ years in professional kitchens, he's convinced that leadership is a craft, not a title, and that it can be taught the same way you'd teach someone to break down a chicken or build a mother sauce.
