The class of 2026 FE&S Top Achievers each come with their own unique set of attributes but also share some critical traits: strong principles, the ability to lead through challenges, and a unique understanding of where they are most valuable to their organizations. They all know how to support those around them — to influence and shape without dictating. In doing so, they set the standards of professionalism not only for their organization but the rest of the foodservice industry.
