This week my guest is Bill Corbett. Many people know him from his years working as a pastry chef with people like Sam Mason (https://www.instagram.com/sam_mason/) , Wylie Dufresne (https://www.instagram.com/wyliedufresne/) , Lincoln Carson (https://www.instagram.com/lincolncarson/) , Michael Mina (https://www.instagram.com/chefmichaelmina/) , and Daniel Patterson. But he left the world of pastry behind and is currently the executive chef and head of culinary at Salesforce (https://www.salesforce.com/) . Bill has been recognized as the Best Pastry Chef 2011 from San Francisco Magazine, and in 2013 he was selected as one of the Top 10 Pastry Chefs in America by Dessert Professional Magazine.
We talk about the transition from being a restaurant pastry chef, to overseeing Salesforce’s Ohana floor kitchens and barista programs across the company’s global towers. There are a lot of changes that come with a change like this. Bill discusses learning to be a better leader, and stepping away from the food.
We also talk about punk rock, and Brooks Headley, and hear about how the Killed by Dessert events came to be. If you’ve never heard of them, they were a series of collaborative dessert events he did with Christina Tosi, Lincoln Carson, Francisco Migoya, Michael Laiskonis, and Brooks Headley. If you’re a fan of pastry chefs, or want to hear about transitioning into the corporate food world, this episode’s for you.
