Gaby Schnetzer

Gaby was involved in the catering/hospitality industry for almost 20 years: She launched the Cape Town subsidiary of RAPS (an international spice and herbs manufacturer based in Germany) and became the group's National Sales & Marketing manager in South Africa. During that time Gaby worked very closely with the South African Culinary Team who Raps sponsored for 4 years. She also launched several projects for different suppliers of the catering industry and finally, Gaby managed a meat company. By then, she had gained the knowledge and expertise that is crucial for a competent and efficient link between suppliers and Chefs. Although Gaby relocated to East Africa, she is still very much involved in Chef's Pro.

Annelize Bisschoff

Annelize started her professional career as a Chef in 1999 and as a result of her hard work she was promoted to Sous Chef at one of the finest 5 Star hotels in Johannesburg. In 2010 Annelize changed her career path and took over the sales and marketing of products to the hospitality industry for a supplier. Her family then relocated to Cape Town and Annelize joined Chef's Pro. When Gaby left South Africa, Annelize took over from her and ever since provides our clients with the same top level service they are used to. Annelize has the huge advantage that she knows both sides of the industry. She is passionate, efficient, enthusiastic and a true perfectionist.
