About Daniel Blasco

Senior executive with more than 20 years of experience in retail and hospitality, with responsibilities across operations and business development and an extensive international background at very successful and market leading organizations. Very lucky to have worked with some of the most successful international brands both in operations and in business development roles. I started my carreer in retail at Marks & Spencer, Warner Bros. park and then I worked at Grupo VIPS (#Starbucks, Ginos, TGI Fridays, VIPS) in Spain for many years with the best people in the industry both in retail and in hospitality.I loved the experience of being a part of the great TGI Fridays team and also very proud of my role leading the introduction of wagamama to the Spanish market. For four years, I had the privilege to lead wagamama international division, during the most challenging times (#Covid, inflation), driving growth and profitability in our franchise business over 22 countries across Europe and the Middle East.
