Between 2020 and 2022, Mr. Bocchieri worked as a builders’ division sales project manager and field foreman at Appliances Connection. He managed online reselling operations, visited construction sites and collaborated closely with contractors and architects. Mr. Bocchieri’s responsibilities also included overseeing installation crews and facilitating appliance sales, drawing on his technical background and communication skills.
Earlier, Mr. Bocchieri was employed as a VIP guest hospitality specialist at The Greenwich Hotel under the ownership of Robert De Niro. This position, which spanned from 2017 to 2020, enabled him to refine his high-end hospitality management and client relations skills. However, Mr. Bocchieri’s most significant professional tenure was at P.C. Richard & Son, where he began his career in retail in 1995 as a sales counselor. Over the course of more than 20 years, he advanced through several leadership positions, culminating in his appointment as the general manager of the company’s flagship Atlantic Avenue store from 2009 to 2017.

Mr. Bocchieri also pursued additional coursework at a local trade school in 1993, which provided him with technical training that proved invaluable throughout his career. Besides his formal education, he garnered certification in commercial/home air conditioning and refrigeration, appliance maintenance and repair, which facilitated his entry into the appliance industry at P.C. Richard & Son.
Motivated by a deep fear of failure as a motivating force behind launching MAMBA Hot Sauces, coupled with pride in providing for his family and creating generational wealth, Mr. Bocchieri remains committed to making MAMBA Hot Sauces a household name by focusing on pepper flavor diversity inspired by Caribbean, South American and Southern culinary traditions encountered during his upbringing in Brooklyn. Additionally, he plans to leverage MAMBA Hot Sauces and Albelina Management Ltd. by utilizing their platforms to support initiatives benefiting individuals with cerebral palsy, a cause close to his heart due to family connections.
