INFLUENTIAL WOMEN Recognizing the achievements of female chefs, restaurateurs and foodservices leaders
E
arlier this year, BIV published the inaugural issue of BC500, which recognizes some of the most influential business leaders in British Columbia.
The publication featured a dozen successful chefs, restaurateurs and foodservices executives, many of whom are households names. But it failed to highlight the progress, achievements, successes and influence of women in this traditionally male-dominated industry. With feedback supported by research, BIV has updated its digital list to include nine influential women who should have been part of the BC500 magazine from the beginning.
This issue of Women in Business magazine dedicates some space to the culinary leaders who have broken glass ceilings, launched innovative businesses and reached high levels of success in their respective areas. These leaders span two categories: chefs and restaurateurs, and foodservices. Profiles and more information on all of the individuals featured across more than 50 unique categories can be found at bc500.biv.com.
