Michael Jeni
Senior Consultant, Advisory
Michael has worked in foodservice since he was at university – where he started his own business, leasing staff to the likes of Hilton, Rocco Forte Hotels and Käfer Catering. At the same time, he also opened an inner city hostel and bar, as well as his own restaurant brand, which he expanded to seven restaurants across Munich. At the end of 2019, Michael left the operational business to join Nesto – a new startup with a focus on AI and digitalisation for system gastronomy to optimise staffing and processes – where he has worked with brands like McDonalds, Burger King, KFC, L’Osteria and many more.
At WhiteSpace Partners, he is leading the International Development and Franchising mandates for the DACH and CEE markets. He holds a degree from LMU Munich and is fluent in both German and English.
