TITTA UOTI-VÄISÄNEN
EX-YACHT CHEF & FOUNDER OF SUPERYACHT FOODIE
In the early 2000s, my husband Mikko (a yacht captain) and I moved to the British Virgin Islands, where I worked as crew and a yacht chef while sailing across the Caribbean - learning first-hand what it takes to deliver consistent, high-level food and hospitality at sea. Those years shaped me, because on board, quality isn’t a nice-to-have; it’s the baseline, every single day.
We later settled in the South of France, where I continued as a private chef for Ultra-High-Net-Worth Individuals, refining a luxury mindset built on discretion, detail, and uncompromising standards. I’m Finnish and I hold an MBA, and I combine that hands-on hospitality background with commercial expertise.
Today, I help premium food and drink brands enter the superyacht industry through clear, practical market-entry. I connect he right products to the right decision-makers and help brands succeed in a uniquely demanding environment.
MY VALUES & DRIVE
Strong relationships, integrity and community are central to my leadership. Beyond business, I am an animal lover and competitive athlete, winning a silver medal at the French Championships in Longe-Côte after beginning my sporting career at 50.
Honesty, determination and community continue to guide me in everything I do.
