FOCUS AREA – Recipe Development and Innovation: Anthony’s engineering background and years of experience developing Hero Serves for some of the world’s largest liquor brands underpins his unique approach to systematizing disruptive innovation. He has trained Global R&D teams for enterprise-level clients including PepsiCo, Angostura, and Ingredion, and worked to create both new products and entirely new categories for major beverage brands.
"You gave us all such a huge gift. We’re not the same bartenders after our training with Anthony. The last thing any of us wanted was to be lectured by an overly academic know-it-all about something that’s ultimately supposed to be rooted in hospitality. What we got was the exact opposite. Anthony Caporale was a breath of fresh air. He met us where we were in terms of know-how and sincerely invested himself in helping us grow. I loved every single minute of that whole experience. I can’t thank you enough and don’t take this gift lightly."
-Cliff Moylan, Bartender
