which owns and operates a chain of Asian restaurants
across the country. During the time he has been head
of the company, Federico has taken on the huge tasks of

his customers, and even his competitors.

results from every team, manager, and worker. But he
expects no less from himself. He believes his greatest tasks
as a leader involve remaining focused on his customers, his
workers, and the food they serve. As P.F. Chang’s grows Federico wants to be sure that the quality of service, atmosphere, and food are always at their highest.
