Tim Hillgarth is the founder of SAUCERER, a gourmet sauce brand focused on natural ingredients. He leverages his extensive background in the beverage industry, where he led international export strategy for companies like Beavertown Brewery. Tims vision for his brand is inspired by his French-Italian upbringing where homemade sauces were central.

Inspired by his Mediterranean family roots, Tim is passionate about creating high-quality, convenient food without artificial additives. He actively engages with consumers to gather direct feedback and believes in creating food that is about discovery and new experiences, drawing parallels between the evolution of pasta and the craft beer movement.
