Anthony Lambatos believes heart-led leadership isn’t just good for people — it’s good for business.

Since purchasing Footers Catering from his father in 2010, Anthony and his wife April have quadrupled revenue, maintained retention 50% better than the industry average and opened an event center called Social Capitol. Footers has been recognized nationally for innovation in both catering and culture, earning “Best Places to Work” honors eleven years running.

In response to industry demand, Anthony founded MIBE, a leadership development and culture-building organization that helps leaders grow people-first organizations. An award-winning speaker, Anthony inspires leaders to create workplaces where fulfilled employees fuel unstoppable results.
