Leadership Lunch Co-Chairs
Bill Hansen
A leading catering, wedding, and event expert and Founder and CEO of one of South Florida’s top catering firms, I provide entertaining solutions for my clients that delight their guests with passion, quality, teamwork, and innovation. The secret to my 40+ year longevity in the catering and events industry--pleasing high-level clients including FedEx, HBO and UBS--lies in hard work, unbridled passion, and never cutting corners in the food or the staff it takes to make things party-perfect.
Since founding Bill Hansen Luxury Catering and Event Production (then Bills’ Catering with my best friend, Bill Hendrich) in 1980, I have written two books, conducted over 20 catering boot camps across the country, have spoken at scores of national industry meetings, and served as an expert witness in at least ten legal cases in the hospitality realm. I have also taught Catering Management at Florida International University since 1990 and have consulted for caterers all over the country.
