ANNE MICHI KLEINEDLER
With over 15 years of hospitality PR and marketing experience, Anne brings deep industry knowledge and a strong track record of success across chef-driven restaurants, destinations, gourmet products, and wine and spirits brands. Known for her sharp storytelling and producer’s mindset, she has led high-impact campaigns for globally-recognized chefs and hospitality concepts, consistently securing top-tier national coverage. Half-Japanese and bilingual in Japanese and English, Anne lived in Tokyo and has become a go-to expert on Japanese food and culture, as well as promoting Japanese brands to North American audiences. She began her career in entertainment and music, a background that shapes her strategic, relationship-driven approach to media. Off the clock, she’s curating Japanese café playlists, exploring tinned seafood, and cooking - with her twin cats Sophie and Gigi in tow.
KAT NGUYEN-DE ANGELIS
Kat brings over 15 years of experience in PR and journalism, with a career that spans agency work and a decade as a food and lifestyle writer for one of the top 25 newspapers in the country. Known for her editorial instincts and big-picture thinking, she leads campaigns that generate buzz and shape brand identity. A former news scribe with deep curiosity for culture and community, Kat has a knack for coaxing quiet culinary forces into breakout names.

She’s especially passionate about championing underdogs and emerging talent in food, helping turn overlooked stories into national conversations.
