About Professor Humberto Patorniti

His international background, education and business expertise expands across healthcare, retail and offshore oilrig businesses. Bilingual English/Spanish.
Whether as a General Manager, Vice-President or as the CEO responsible for the Sodexo Group in Mexico, Mr. Patorniti’s philosophy has been simple: “Engage your team members and they will accomplish the unthinkable.” In his 7 years as CEO and President, team México tripled revenues, increased cash on hand by 10-fold, and led team México to reinvent the Company’s brand to meet Mexico’s market spending behaviors and consumer preferences.

This program enabled Sodexo employees and family members who had not been able to complete their Elementary or High School education, to do so.
After retiring from Sodexo in 2013, Mr. Patorniti has not only become more active in business, but has ventured into higher education.
