Elizabeth Matthews
SVP, Canada

- Off the clock, she’s the ringleader planning group getaways and chasing stamps in her passport
Act with integrity, trust your gut, and keep your word.
Elizabeth has lived by that for 20+ years, from roles in distribution and manufacturing to scaling her own foodservice agency across Canada. She now runs CORE Canada with the same entrepreneurial edge.
Brands lean on her to open doors and win hearts. Not by pushing product, but by presenting complete solutions — grounded in strong relationships and thoughtful negotiation. She helps operators see why premium is worth it. In the kitchen. On the plate. And for the guest.
Elizabeth knows what success takes: clear expectations and fast pivots when the market shifts. She gives her team ownership, backs their decisions, and insists on doing right by clients, even when it’s harder.
