CS Spotlight: Meet Stella Rankin

Food and entertainment, Stella Rankin knows it intimately. As one of the founders of the celebrated Pinch Food Design, a top-tier catering and design company based in New York City, she has had almost 25 years of experience in production, theater, and live events.

Growing up in Queensland, Australia, she dreamed of a life in the big apple on stage. With her origins as a professional actress, voice-over artist, and TV Presenter, she is no stranger to live experiences. Eventually combining her passions for all things theatrical and a love of food and entertaining, Rankin is now an expert in the USA's luxury food and beverage industry. She is known in her field as an enigmatic self-starter and passionate entrepreneur. And as one of the four founding partners at Pinch, she built it from a start-up company to what it is today.

In addition to representing Pinch in day-to-day operations, she is a big believer in the power of collaboration, always seeking new relationships or reinforcing the old with like-minded tastemakers, acclaimed chefs, designers, and professional party planners.

You can hear from Rankin directly next month when she speaks during Catersource + The Special Event (May 2-5 in Anaheim, CA.)
