Our Team
Andrea Stortini — Co-founder and Master Instructor at GelatoDemy
With more than 25 years of experience, Andrea Stortini is recognized as one of the most influential Italian gelato professionals in the field of artisanal ice cream training in Europe and Latin America.
Since 2006, Andrea has trained hundreds of students in Spain through his GeroGelato school, becoming a reference for authentic Italian gelato in countries such as Italy, Spain, Portugal, the United States, Panama, Colombia, and Argentina.
What defines his work: a unique blend of Italian tradition, food science, and healthy innovation. Andrea not only teaches how to make gelato, but also trains his students to think, create, and build businesses with a global perspective.
He is currently leading an innovation project in Milan focused on developing a three-ingredient gelato made without sugars, polyols, or additives, designed for wellness and real health. This breakthrough was presented in 2024 at MIND Milano, a food innovation center, marking an important moment in the evolution of functional and healthy gelato.
Tatiana Castañeda — Founder of GelatoDemy and Digital Marketing Specialist
Tatiana earned her degree in Digital Marketing from the University of the Southern United States in 2014. She has collaborated with GeroGelato since 2016, strengthening the brand’s visibility through digital search channels and helping establish its online presence in multiple international markets.
She later founded GelatoDemy, where she developed a structured learning system based on effective online education methodologies. Tatiana designed a platform focused on user experience so that entrepreneurs and ice cream makers around the world can learn online with the same level of clarity and guidance they would receive in a classroom in Italy.
Beyond her work in online education, Tatiana also helps culinary businesses, restaurants, and ice cream shops improve their social media presence, optimize their visibility on Google, and implement AI powered automations. These automations allow businesses to maintain operations, communication, and customer engagement even when no team member is available, ensuring continuity and efficiency without increasing staff workload.
Her main priority is to offer a learning and business development experience that is practical, modern, and designed for real growth. Tatiana focuses on creating systems that empower entrepreneurs to learn, evolve, and operate with independence instead of relying on external agents.
