ezCater
ezCater is the leading U.S. workplace food platform, connecting companies that need to feed teams, meetings and events with a network of more than 100,000 local restaurants and caterers. Founded in Boston in 2007, it turned the messy, phone-and-fax world of office catering into software - online ordering, delivery logistics, billing and analytics - serving everything from a 5-person lunch to a 2,000-person conference. Now a $1.6B company, it has expanded from a transactional marketplace into an enterprise food management platform.
Nihad Rahman
Nihad Rahman is the CEO of ezCater, the Boston-founded online marketplace that turns office lunch into logistics across 100,000+ restaurants. He joined in 2022 as CFO after two decades in finance at JPMorgan Chase and General Electric, stepped in as interim chief in January 2025, and was handed the permanent job that May - succeeding 16-year co-founder Stefania Mallett. He runs a roughly 850-person company from Bronxville, New York, commuting to the downtown Boston headquarters rather than the other way around.
