About Kathleen Held
Creating Connections is my passion. I love using the power of networking to connect people together to create opportunities and solve problems. I am Chief Executive Officer at Cini-Little International, Inc- the people who create, improve, and enhance the kitchens and serveries in the places YOU eat. I look to my 25 years of marketing and industry knowledge to lead the firm daily and provide a clear strategic vision for Cini-Little’s future. I embrace a trusting and supportive company culture, and recognize that our staff, with their ingenuity and experience, is Cini-Little’s most precious asset. An active member of the Society for Marketing Professional Services, I have held various positions at the national, regional and local level; I am a Certified Professional Services Marketer and a graduate of SMPS University. I am also an Associate Member of Foodservice Consultants Society International (FCSI) and an active member of the Conference Planning Committee, as well as board member of the FCSI Educational Foundation. I like to share my knowledge by participating in various A/E/C industry-related events. When not in the office, I enjoy spending time with my husband and our four sons and can often be found cheering in the stands at the local ball field or volunteering at a Scouting event.
