“How you feed people is how you value them, especially in sports,” Rosas said.

KZ Provisioning, a catering and hospitality company co-founded by James Beard award-winning chefs Andrew Zimmern and Gavin Kaysen, has hired Bri Rosas as its first CEO. The company partners with sports teams to dial in their athletes’ nutrition planning.

The 25-year milestone highlights the brand’s evolution: from launching the world’s first PTT polymer in 2000 to debuting sub-brands like Agile, Aura, and Luxe, and creating global supply chain transparency programs.

With Ackerman at the helm, CovationBio aims to drive the next era of renewable chemistry and responsible textile innovation.

“The growing global need for sustainable material innovation is clear. We’ll continue to build on our strong foundation to deliver even greater value to our partners and the planet.”

What started as an observation has evolved into a comprehensive program that goes far beyond standard team catering.

“We don‘t drop off food and throw it into a steam table,” Zimmern said. “We have a hospitality manager embedded with the team. We have our cooks and chefs embedded with the team. We are actually there every single day in the practice facilities and on game day.”
