More than just a businessman with La Rose Noire under his name, Gérard Dubois, is a confectioner with a real passion for his craft. His love for baking and good food started early in life. At sixteen he entered a five-year apprenticeship program in Villars, Switzerland where he graduated with distinction. He eventually found himself working for the Hilton Group, which brought him on a journey around various countries in Asia until he became a Regional Pastry Chef in Hong Kong. Here, he started his personal transformation from confectioner to businessman, opening the first ‘La Rose Noire Patisserie’. The Swiss entrepreneur eventually took full control of the company. Now, after fifteen hard working years, La Rose Noire, under his management, is one of Hong Kong’s leading producers of fine bakery and pastry products. More information available at .
