“Pascal’s appointment reflects Datassential’s commitment to serve the global food and beverage industry,” says Jim Emling, CEO of Datassential, in a release. “With Pascal onboard, it accelerates our ability to scale internationally, ensuring that companies across the region gain access to the same transformative insights that have redefined success in the U.S.”

In step with Hartwig’s appointment, Datassential released its first “Top Chains in Europe” report ranking the 75 biggest foodservice chains in France, the U.K., Spain, Germany and Italy.
