“I was asked by Wells Fargo to coordinate all of the logistics for the team riding at the MS 150 race from Houston to Austin. The objective is to ensure that the team is well taken care of with a priority on providing wholesome food. Not being local, I turned to Executive Chef Services for a referral, which put me in contact with Madeline Pizzo . From our first conversation she understood all the moving parts and challenges to provide food for a hungry team in a tent. She offered sound advice on logistics and worked within a modest, but realistic budget. The event takes place in April, but I have every confidence in her professionalism and flexibility that is integral to our planning for a successful event!” March 9, 2009
