When Cindy Klein Roche joined ezCater in 2019 as Vice President of Brand and Corporate Marketing, she stepped into a company that dominated business catering marketplace orders. Over the years, she has helped steer the business through pivotal moments, particularly its shift into enterprise-wide customer engagements, while steadily shaping a more unified, customer-centric growth strategy. Now serving as Chief Growth Officer following her tenure as CMO, Cindy reflects on the defining moments that have shaped her leadership, how her role has evolved alongside the business, and what ezCater’s new brand identity (as of April 2026) signals for the company’s next chapter.

On August 5th, ezCater officially launched its Employee Resource Groups (ERGs)—a key milestone in building a more inclusive, connected workplace.
