High Profile Qualified Professional Personal Health & Performance Chef for HNW and UHNW & C‑Suite Executives
Elite Domestic Excellence for High Net Worth and Ultra-High Net Worth Families
A high-profile Personal Health and Performance Chef is not just a Personal Chef who cooks healthy food.
They are a precision operator who quietly and consistently turns your nutritional intentions into daily practice.
In C-Suite and High-Net-Worth (HNW) and Ultra-High-Net-Worth (UHNW) families life, the problem is rarely a lack of knowledge, but rather adherence under pressure, travel, meetings and unpredictable schedules.
At Xerendipity, we recruit and select high-profile Domestic Staff for HNW and UHNW families, Family Offices, and international companies.
We verify experience and references, and assess real operational capability because performance-focused nutrition is only valuable when delivered safely, discreetly and consistently.
What a Personal Health & Performance Chef is (and is Not)
A Personal Health and Performance Chef will plan and prepare meals that align with your agreed goals, preferences, schedule and constraints.
They manage everything from sourcing and preparation to service timing and kitchen systems, ensuring consistency whether you are at home, hosting, travelling or operating across multiple residences.
Please note that this is not a diet coach and does not constitute medical treatment.
While a high-profile Personal Chef can collaborate with your clinician, nutritionist, trainer or concierge medical team where appropriate, they do not replace regulated health professionals.
The Problem Our Clients Come to Us With: Energy Dips, Decision Fatigue, and Inconsistency
Most people come to us having experienced the same frustration: you want to eat well, but life keeps getting in the way.
Meetings run late, travel disrupts routines, family preferences clash, and ‘quick options’ become the norm — followed by regret, diminished concentration, or the feeling that you’re constantly starting again.
This problem is not only personal, but operational too.
When your nutrition system fails, your calendar suffers, and your peers often influence the solution: appoint a specialist Health and Performance Personal Chef who can deliver consistency without adding to your workload.
Why This Role is Different at HNW and UHNW Level
HNW and UHNW households present a high level of trust, but also pose privacy risks and present complex access issues due to the involvement of multiple stakeholders.
A Performance Personal Chef must work discreetly around the household’s owners, their children, guests, Domestic Staff and Security Staff, while maintaining impeccable hygiene, allergen management and control of suppliers.
The Chef also operates within an ecosystem.
Integration with an Executive Personal Assistant, House Manager, Personal Butler, Head Housekeeper, Household Staff and travel logistics is often more important than culinary talent because good timing and coordination are key to maintaining your routine.
Outcomes You Should Expect from an Exceptional Health & Performance Chef
A top-tier Health and Performance Chef increases consistency and reduces cognitive load by ensuring that the ‘right choice’ is the easiest choice.
They provide structure without rigidity and deliver meals that fit your lifestyle, rather than an idealised plan that falls apart after three days.
Typical outcomes include:
- predictable meal timing aligned to your diary and travel rhythm;
- high-quality meals that take into account your preferences, intolerances and household rules;
- reduced reliance on last-minute ordering and inconsistent snacking;
- clear kitchen systems that prioritise safety, hygiene and privacy;
- hosting options that give you confidence and still align with your chosen standards.
Core Responsibilities of a High Profile Personal Health & Performance Personal Chef
The scope depends on whether the Personal Chef is supporting one person, a couple, or a whole family.
Xerendipity helps to define the scope, ensuring that expectations are measurable and that the Chef can work independently.
Common responsibilities include:
- weekly menu planning aligned to an agreed framework and household preferences;
- sourcing with supplier discretion, quality control and cost management;
- preparing meals in batches and making them ready to execute for busy days and travel gaps;
- macro-aware or ingredient-led meal planning where requested (non-medical);
- allergen and cross-contamination management with clear labelling systems;
- coordination with household staff regarding service timing, storage and cleaning.
What “Qualified” Means for a Performance-Focused Personal Chef
In this role, ‘Qualified’ refers to evidence of safe execution, repeatability and discretion, rather than just fine dining credentials.
A Personal Chef must demonstrate their ability to run a clean and organised kitchen, manage procurement and deliver consistent results despite changing schedules.
Relevant experience may include working in private households, in high-standard hospitality establishments, and undertaking recognised food safety training.
While we recognise the value of certifications, we prioritise behaviour: remaining calm under pressure, respecting privacy, and adopting a systems-thinking approach.
Discretion and Privacy-First Operational Behaviour
A Health and Performance Personal Chef may unwittingly disclose sensitive information during conversations with suppliers, through delivery patterns or by their social behaviour.
High-profile Personal Chefs must maintain controlled communication, respect the boundaries of guests and Domestic Staff, and treat menus, routines and preferences as confidential household data.
Xerendipity promotes privacy-first practices and, where lawful and appropriate, can utilise Social Media Intelligence to mitigate reputational risk.
The aim is to prevent breaches of discretion and align with the standards expected in HNW and UHNW homes.
Where Most Health and Performance Personal Chef Hires Go Wrong
When hiring, generic companies tend to prioritise charisma and taste over operational discipline.
In performance-focused households, failure usually stems from inadequate systems, such as poor labelling, inconsistent preparation, unreliable timing and ad hoc decision-making that disrupts your routine.
Common failure points include:
- overly complex menus that cannot be fitted into real diaries;
- weak hygiene or allergen management, which increases household risk;
- poor coordination with Executive Personal Assistants (EPAs), Personal Butler, Head Housekeeper and Domestic Staff, resulting in missed meal times;
- uncontrolled supplier interactions that reveal privacy-sensitive information;
- inadequate documentation, meaning the principal has to act as project manager again;
- unverified references that do not reflect private household realities.
Xerendipity’s Approach: Stay Safe | Recruit Safe
We don’t just forward random CVs!
Xerendipity is designed to be the first choice for Principals seeking certainty, and our structured process is tailored for high-trust domestic appointments.
Our approach reflects the principles set out on our website.

- pre- and post-hiring checks aligned with role and jurisdiction (where lawful);

Screening & Assessment: How We Test Real-World Performance Readiness
We assess not only how a Chef cooks, but also how they think, plan and execute.
In high-performance kitchens, the difference between ‘great food’ and ‘great outcomes’ lies in the Personal Chef’s ability to establish consistent routines.
Depending on your assignment, we may assess the following:
- menu logic under constraints (time windows, travel days and family preferences);
- safe kitchen systems, such as storage, labelling, allergen separation and handover notes;
- procurement judgement and supplier discretion;
- communication style: concise and accurate reporting that is privacy-aware;
- collaboration with your nutritionist/doctor (when guidelines are provided).
Integration with Executive PAs, House Managers, Personal; Butler and Travel Logistics
A Health and Performance Chef must be a good fit for your operating system.
This involves aligning shopping schedules with security and access rules, planning meals around meetings, coordinating with household staff and arranging travel provisions with minimal disruption.
We can help you define interfaces, ensuring that approvals, preferences and escalations are clear.
Once the Chef has been integrated correctly, the Principal will experience fewer questions and surprises, and more consistency.

Who this Service is For
This service is designed for High-Net-Worth (HNW) and Ultra-High-Net-Worth (UHNW) individuals, C-Suite Leaders and Family Offices who want seamless nutrition execution.

How to Begin: a Confidential Health and Performance Personal Chef Consultation
We begin with a private consultation to gain an understanding of your schedule, household composition, preferences, allergies, travel patterns, kitchen layout and any confidentiality requirements you may have.
If you work with clinicians or performance specialists, we can ensure that the Personal Chef’s work aligns with your written guidance.
