Featured Speaker Talk: The Business Side of Gluten Free
Jim Broussalian, founder and creator of Potapas Gluten Free Potato Tortillas, will share his experiences in the development of PotapasTortillas and launching a start-up business. Learn how Potapas were created as a new and different tortilla based on love of all things potato, while benefitting those seeking gluten free and allergen friendly foods. While in the sixth year of sales, the Potapas business is still in early phase growth. Jim will talk about the challenges to launching and sustaining a food business. Jim is a new product entrepreneur, consultant and innovator with extensive experience in the food and beverage industry having led product development teams at Baskin Robbins, Taco Bell and Jack in the Box, and is still learning. As a San Diego resident, Jim has been close to the Celiac community here, whose members were the some of the first to try early prototypes of Potapas. He will also be making some gluten free quesadillas as a snack.
Please RSVP to Michele at sandiegoceliacs@gmail.com by Sept. 18.
* Complimentary gluten-free desserts and light snacks provided by our board will include homemade cupcakes (in 3 flavors), gluten-free brownies, at least one dairy-free dessert, and warm Potapas samples.
