ProTeam Welcomes Senior Consultant Bertrand Weber
We are starting the year on an extremely high note at ProTeam, welcoming to our team Senior Consultant Bertrand Weber.
Bertrand joins us following his recent retirement from Minneapolis Public School, where he served as Director of Culinary and Wellness Services for well over a decade. During his tenure, he transformed the district’s food program through the “Rethinking MPS School Lunch” initiative, returning all schools to scratch cooking, introducing Market Cart Salad Bars, and advancing progressive initiatives such as Minnesota Thursdays, the Plant Protein Challenge, and the True Food No Waste Action Plan.
Bertrand also oversaw the major renovation and modernization of the district’s central production kitchen. The project expanded the district’s ability to support scratch cooking, strengthen local sourcing, increase culinary capacity, and enhance operational efficiency — positioning MPS as a national model for how modernized central kitchens can elevate quality and sustainability in school meal programs.
We are thrilled to welcome Bertrand to our team and feel fortunate to have his wealth of experience to draw on as we help our clients navigate evolving child nutrition demands. His areas of specialty will include:
Strategic planning and budget management
Culinary standards and menu development
USDA/NSLP compliance and special diet management
Farm to School and local procurement,
Large-scale renovation and change management
