About Giscard
Giscard transformed a childhood hustle into a thriving food manufacturing business with national reach. His entrepreneurial journey began early, when he sold eggs on his family’s terrace, planting the seeds of a strong business mindset. While studying medicine, a UNICEF entrepreneurship course inspired him to build on that early experience. This led to the launch of Mayo-Bio, a locally made, organic mayonnaise brand inspired by the flavours of his hometown. With guidance and coaching, Giscard founded Firme KTL, producing two signature mayonnaise varieties, original and spicy, using local ingredients and culture.
