EatalyManagement
Micol Viano
Micol Viano is MD of EATALY Distribution GmbH since January 2016. Micol graduated in Business Administration in Milano in 2007. She worked as Consultant in KPMG and joint Eataly Italia in 2009 as Restaurant Manager in Eataly Torino. In 2012 she worked as Restaurant GM for the opening of Eataly Roma store and in 2013 she joint the International development team as Restaurant Project Manager for Istanbul and Dubai Projects. Since 2015 she is in charge of the international operational development team that coordinates the opening of the Eataly stores in San Paolo (Brasil), Seoul (Corea), Munich (Germany).
Eataly combines catering and retail elements to create a unique offering: authentic, high-quality Italian cuisine and food that customers can taste and enjoy in-store, and take home with them. Visitors can pick up new ideas and take time to go shopping – just like in a department store.
Eataly reduces the distribution chain to a bare minimum, creating direct links between producers and retailers and cutting out middlemen.
Its main aim is to increase the proportion of people who eat healthily, select high-quality Italian products and pay attention to the origin of the ingredients and the way they are processed.
As Eataly’s credo goes: life is too short to not eat well. The company is expanding year-by-year and generated revenue of around EUR 400 million in 2014.
