About Jason Ridley

With over 20 years of experience in the culinary and hospitality industry, I am a passionate and driven leader who oversees the operations and performance of multiple food service accounts in the corporate sector. As a District Manager at Sodexo, I work with a diverse and talented team of managers, chefs, and staff to deliver high-quality, nutritious, and sustainable food solutions that meet the needs and expectations of our clients and customers. I also leverage my culinary expertise and creativity to design and implement innovative menus, catering programs, and special events that showcase our culinary excellence and enhance our brand reputation. Some of my recent achievements include securing a large contract with a large semiconductor manufacturing company, launching a new return to office menu option across all accounts, and increasing customer satisfaction and retention rates. I am always eager to learn new skills, explore new cuisines, and collaborate with other professionals in the industry. My goal is to continue to grow and excel as a Vice President, and to contribute to the company\'s mission of improving the quality of life of the people and communities we serve.
