Eli’s Cheesecake creates a winning recipe for refugee inclusion.

Description

"We've found that hiring refugees and having them rise in the company is just an important part of their commitment to growing the business,” said Marc Schulman, President and CEO of Eli’s Cheesecake Company. The commitment to empowering refugees reflects Eli’s Cheesecake’s origin story. Eli himself was the son of Czech refugees. Marc, carrying the torch as Eli's only child, underscores this heritage. "Our grandparents came to the United States in the early 20th century as refugees. So we have to be very cognizant about how far individuals can come," he said. “It's really been part of our culture, as so many of our now leaders in the company came to us as refugees. We've grown together and we've really seen the great impact of having such talented, dedicated people in the Eli's community."
