🎉 Celebrating an incredible career milestone! 🎉   After 21 years of remarkable contributions to our foodservice and export business, Chris Eklem, Vice President of Ghirardelli Professional Products, is retiring.   Chris took on the challenge of building and leading the Ghirardelli Professional Products Division (PPD)—a move that transformed the business. Through his visionary leadership and entrepreneurial spirit, he helped transform Ghirardelli into a trusted name in foodservice, pioneering innovative programs like the “Made with Ghirardelli” program, establishing the relationship between Ghirardelli and The Culinary Institute of America, and expanding our international footprint.   Chris’s entrepreneurial spirit, leadership, and dedication have left a true legacy that will continue to inspire the strong PPD team that he was instrumental in building.   Thank you, Chris, for an extraordinary career and the lasting impact you’ve made. Wishing you nothing but joy and adventure in this exciting next chapter!   👏 Join us in celebrating Chris!
