And more praises for CEO Chef...
A corporate organizer's point of view
​Okay. Hi, I am Ashley. I have been running this leadership development program for the past three years now. It's a global program. We have teams represented from a bunch of different companies nationwide and also globally. Every time I call Jim (CEO Chef) and tell him we're running this program again, he does a fantastic job. He knows exactly what we want. He is professional, he shows up. It's CEO Chef, we love him. And, the group just has a really wonderful time coming together to create wonderful tasting food and beautiful food. It's a really amazing experience and I can't speak more highly of them and of him and his team. Thanks.
And even more praises for CEO Chef...
More praises from revenue executive- It consulting firm
​Hi, my name's Lee Low and I'm the Chief Revenue Officer at A & M. We're a solutions provider for IT solutions across the Southwest, based in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and we're having a team off-site here at Sandia Casino. We just had a nice round of events here with CEO Chef, cooked ourselves dinner, and we're currently in the process of voting the best dish. The team walked in and was pretty skeptical at first with what they were walking into, about 120 or so people, and had a really good time. The team  a lot of people making new connections and really had a great time, really well orchestrated, well organized, and everything went off without a hitch. So thank you, CEO Chef, I really appreciate your help in our team-building event and look forward to working with you in the future. Thanks.

CEO Chef is very professional and easy to work with, the advantages of your program - easy to implement in various locations, that you always met the teams objectives and it is a very engaging program." - Noel Rettig, Ed.D  |  Vice President, Organizational Effectiveness & Learning, Fire & Rain
