Every time you enjoy a loaf of freshly baked Grand Central artisan bread at a Portland grocery store or restaurant, you can thank Jean-Luc Boucherot and his dedicated team. 🥖⁠ ⁠ As our Portland Delivery Manager, Jean-Luc makes sure our bread arrives fresh, on time, and in perfect condition to locations like Fred Meyer stores, Market of Choice, Wholefoods, and beloved spots like Hopworks Beer and Burgerville. 🚛 🍞 🥖⁠ ⁠ Here are some fun facts about Jean-Luc:⁠ ⁠ 🍞 Like many of our team members, he’s had a few different jobs at the company, starting as a delivery driver 7 years ago. He then transitioned to a delivery coordinator role, worked for 3 years in Production as a Baker and Production Manager, and moved into his current role of Delivery Manager in April 2024.⁠ 🍞 Originally from France, Jean-Luc’s background is in the theater. “I like to think of my current role as the same as an Orchestrator, with the goal of having our partition well-performed.” ⁠ 🍞 He moved to the US for love ♥️, and it was his love of Grand Central’s bread that inspired him to apply for his first job at the company. “My favorite thing at GCB is the Peasant Levain.”⁠ 🍞 Outside of work, Jean-Luc enjoys the theater, Jazz, visiting the coast, playing chess, and playing ping-pong.⁠ 🍞 He especially loves the operational aspects of his job, and being a connector between GCB’s customers and the many departments involved to ensure our bread is delivered at its best to local stores and restaurants.⁠ 🍞 When asked if he has advice for new team members, he said, “Be curious, open minded, flexible, and tenacious.”⁠ ⁠ Jean-Luc’s manager Jennie Borrud had this to say about him:⁠ ⁠ Jean-Luc greets every day at Grand Central Bakery with authentic enthusiasm for the people and products he serves in his role as Delivery Manager. His thoughtful, passionate, hands-on leadership inspires quality work from his teams, magnifying his personal impact on our company mission.⁠ ⁠ ⁠ #baking #sustainability #bcorp #bcorporation #allyoukneadislove #appreciation #peoplematter #buylocal #localfarms #community #communitymatters #grandcentralbakery #bakery #pnw #portland #portlandor #seattle #seattlewa #localbakery #bakerypnw #pnwbakery #oregon #washington #ourstaff #staff #staffmembers #delivery #deliveryteam #teammembers
